All photos on this page are
from the Richard Pettinger Collection at the Isabel Miller Museum in
Sitka, Alaska. Richard Pettinger served in Sitka with the 691 Sig.
A.W. He arrived in 1942 and after a year. There are 5 pages of
his photos on this site. I have scanned the captions that he wrote
for his photos. |
