PHOTOS OF THE CK BRONSON AND HER CREW TAKEN DURING WW II.

Shipmates on the deck of the CK Bronson in 1944. The man on the right side in the front row is John F. Cooney.
Charles Werner says this photo is of the electricians group that he was the head of near the end of the war. The dog was a white "spitz" that came on board in Honolulu. She had at least four puppies while at sea that were adopted by other ships of the fleet.The dog was totally deaf. Probably from being near one of the 5" guns when it was fired. One of the officers took the dog home after the war. Does anyone remember the dogs name?

Some shipmates in December 1945. Photo probably taken on leave in San Francisco.
L to R - Bob Killian, Charles Werner, Unknown, A.C. Atkinson, and Louis Hlad on the right.

Louis "Louie" Hlad on leave in Hawaii. Louie manned a 25mm deck gun on the Bronson.
