Ensign Herbert C. Jones, USNR

Portrait by Mrs. H.E. Ogden Campbell, a New York artist, who presented it to the Midshipmen's School, Johnson Hall, N.Y., 25 April 1944.
Ensign Jones graduated with the first Midshipmen class to be trained aboard USS Prairie State (IX-15) in 1940. He was killed in action on board USS California (BB-44) during the 7 December 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his conduct at that time. He is depicted here wearing that and other medals awarded posthumously.
