Information about these photos from Briney's son:
I am not sure when the other photo was taken but it is also a WW2 photo. It was probably taken shortly after he transferred from the Navy to the Army. It was before he became an officer. He served on the Salt Lake City which was a heavy cruiser. It had the distinction of being in more engagements during WW2 than any other ship in the pacific fleet. The hull number was CA-25. He served on the SLC until about 1940 when he switched over to the Army. I don't know the exact dates. He was stationed at Ft Knox during his tank training. That is where the armor school was located. He never talked about that part of his life.
