From my personal collection, a small time capsule on this eve of Pearl Harbor Anniversary.

I received from a friend in the US a package with documents from the estate of John GALYON, who was then serving on december 7, 1941 aboard USS Schley, (DD-103), a four pipes destroyer at Pearl Harbor.
I enclose a picture from John GALYON and the letter he sent to his girlfriend just after the destroyer returned from patrol after PH (note the post stamp of the enveloppe).
USS Schley was later converted in 1943 a fast transport (APD-14).
He was later assigned to USS Picking (DD-685) a Fletcher class destroyer.
