Description:
|
Original caption: "Rear Admiral Thomas R. Weschler, USN, was born on December 21, 1917, in Erie, Pa., the son of Mrs. Charles L. Weschler, still living in that city. After attending the Cathedral Preparatory School in Erie, he entered the U.S. Naval Academy and was graduated in the Class of 1939. He was not commissioned on graduation because of poor eyesight, which proved to be a temporary condition. He joined the Merchant Marine sailing with Tide Water Associated Oil Company for almost two years until rejoining the Navy as an Ensign, U.S. Reserve in early January 1941. He joined the Regular Navy in September, 1945. Admiral Weschler's first sea duty was aboard the USS WASP, including a tour with the British Home Fleet and two resupplies of aircraft to Malta, until steaming to the Pacific for the invasion of Guadacanal. The ship was sunk there on September 15, 1942. By 1943 he was back in the Pacific Theater in USS Sigsbee. He participated in the bulk of the amphibius operations in the central and southern Pacific during World War II. The end of the Korean conflict found him in command of USs Clarence K. Bronson. Tours of duty ashore have included post graduate training at MIT in Fire Control Ordnance and here years at the Naval War College as both student and member of the staff. From 1955 to 1957, he served as Personal Aide to the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Arleigh Burke, USN...." An American Naval officer poses for the camera with binoculars around his neck. There are many ships on the water in the background.
