Donald R. Cochran's USS Edward J. McKeever Jr. (SP-684) and USS Madawaska (ID # 3011) Photo Album, 1917-1919 -- Pages 17-26


This page provides textual descriptions and thumbnails, plus links to larger images, of the views on pages 17 through 26 of Donald R. Cochran's album of his 1917-1919 U.S. Navy service.
Most of the photographs on these pages were taken in 1919, while Cochran was serving as an Ensign in USS Madawaska, but a few date from his enlisted service in 1917-1918 and (perhaps) from his service in USS Arizona, circa late 1918-early 1919.
