According to Wilmington, North Carolina's World War II historian, Wilbur Jones, besides Clyde Moore and Ralph Moore being at Pearl Harbor, there was one more brother, Robert H. Moore, who was on a submarine.
What I have written about these brothers so far is true. But whether they're the ones from the family with the six serving is something I haven't been able to find out for sure so far. However, with the coincidences, they might very well be.
I did come across the name of a Robert H. Moore who was the chairman of the Wall of Honor Executive Committee of the US Submarine Veterans of World War II. Could he be one of the six Moore brothers.
A total of 3617 US submariners died in the war and the wall to honor them was dedicated in 1995.
An Interesting Family Trip. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
