calmex,
Wow, wonderful gun, and a great story. I thank you for sharing both.
Both Phil's sound like great men.
We would love to hear some of his stories when you have time. Particularly any stories relating to that gun in action in the Pacific.
And one other thing, please. Can you send one of us a better pic of the left side to post here? I blew it up, but it is a little too fuzzy to read anything but 'Guadalcanal'.
Thanks again.
