John Morral Siegwald served on the USS Walke DD416 during the second World War. There are two accounts of his service. The first is a very modest report printed in the Cadillac War Craftsman on August 15, 1944.  The second is the more comprehensive official U.S. Navy history of the DD416, the second of three destroyers to bear the name Walke.
