William Garfield Thomas, Jr. : ウィキペディア英語版 | William Garfield Thomas, Jr. William Garfield Thomas, Jr. (September 13, 1916 - October 12, 1942) was born in Watsontown, Pennsylvania. ==Naval career== He enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June 14. He was appointed midshipman August 10, 1940, commissioned ensign November 14, 1940, and promoted to lieutenant (j.g.) June 15, 1942. He was serving in light cruiser USS Boise (CL-47) during the Battle of Cape Esperance. When his "turret was hit by enemy fire and danger of ... explosions grew increasingly imminent, Lt. (j.g.) ''Thomas'' with utter disregard of his own personal safety remained behind to ensure abandonment of the perilous area . . . Despite the fact that eight of his men succeeded in getting out and that he too might easily have escaped . . . Thomas when last seen was telephoning the handling room to order the crew out."
