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.

An Enemy Walking Stick Sent Home
From the December 12, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"Louis Lloyd is walking with a cane at the present time, but not by force, however. He recently received a box of trophies from his son-in-law, Lieut. Com. George Milles who is on a hospital ship, and a cane directory from one of the foreign fighting theatres was included.
"The walking stick has the appearance of teakwood and handsomely engraved and feted with shells and bits of glass and ornaments. Mr. Lloyd states that he has many other interesting articles which have been taken from the enemy by Lieut. Com. Milles."
