All Navy Service Records are stored at the NARA. (www.archives.gov). If Veteran is deceased to get copies, one needs to be a next of kin, as defined by NARA and be prepared to send a certified copy of death certificate with Form 180. I was able to get my grandfather's even though they do not list "grandchild" as a next of kin.
Ancestry and Fold3 have Military databases like crew lists for ships, Cruise Books, (like high school year books with pictures of crew members). Either subscribe or see if local library has the sites to use. Once you get names of ships or duty stations and time frames you can look for reunion websites.
Ancestry's crew Lists database has a Walter H Sutton listed on crew list for the USS Pecos (AO 65) for Oct 1942. Enlisted Aug 4, 1942 in Indianapolis, IN Service Number 626-77-82 (need this to order records) Rate: AS in unit V-6 USNR. On another crew list for the Pecos dated Dec 31, 1942 has the name Walter Haskel Sutton, same service number, promoted to the Rate S2c in Unit V-6, first reported on board Oct 5, 1942. Last crew list I see he is listed is dated April 7, 1945 with Rate of "Cox" with information in the "remarks" section ..he was transferred April 1, 1945 to USS General H.L. Scott FFT.
Cox= Coxswain... an E-4 Boatswain's Mate.
His listing in the Veterans Cemetery database has death yr as 2003.
If you get access to Ancestry you can download and print out the pages of crew lists he is on.
There is another Walter H. Sutton in crews database, different service number, enlisted in NC and served aboard the USS Cole. Later crew lists for the Cole, he has middle name Hugh.
i do no longer think of united statesa. gained the conflict for us, it quite is far from being a standard equation. We have been being provided with the help of the individuals for a while and had loads of yankee pilots flying with us from the united kingdom till now the US formally joined in. We held the line and destroyed the Luftwaffe at a key element although. no longer long after that the Germans made a extensive tactical mistake with the help of invading Russia, and on the incorrect time of three hundred and sixty 5 days too. The Russians weathered that onslaught with vast loss of protection stress and civilian lives, then counterattacked Germany, at last pushing all of them the previously to Berlin. the authentic question may be, could Russian Communism be as susceptible is it quite is as we communicate if it had no longer had to bow to the NATO (consisting of united statesa.) regulations of the thank you to separate up Germany and the the remainder of eastern Europe...
