Killed in action on May 3, 1945 were Ensign Thomas H. Milliken, S2c William J. Burke, EM3/c Hyman Kernes, PhM2c Daniel W. Styles seen by several men in the water trying to help wounded men, F1c George Ruhlman USS Pavlic (APD-70), GM1/c Joseph A. Hale, S2c Karl L. Dickens and Ensign James Ruemmelli McKelvey who was blown into the water from the area of the Forward Repair party and sustained severe burns together with a head injury. He was transferred to Base Hospital #18 where he died on 25 May 1945 F1c James Tallary, Jr. was stationed as a 20 MM gunner on the port side of the ship. As the suicide run started in his sector, he stayed at his gun firing at the plane until it actually crashed within 15 feet of him. He was a great inspiration to his gun crew and shipmates by his example. He remained at his gun until he was blown from the ship by the violent initial explosion. F1c Tallary was found in the water, critically burned, and dragged to a life raft where first aid was administered. His wounds were too severe and he died aboard the USS Crescent City (APA-21) on May 4, 1945.Olwillard (talk) 16:18, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]


From [[1]] On the morning of May 4, 1945 we thought we’d found one more survivor, but when we got closer we found there wasn’t much left below the life vest. The guys in the Higgins boat had to fight off sharks to get him to the ship. He had been one of the crew of the LSMR-195 that had been sunk. That afternoon between general quarters alarms, the captain and Dr. Putzel conducted a burial service, and he was slipped over the side. The deck log said, “At 1928 burial services were conducted by commanding Officer, Lt. Cmdr. C.V. Allen, USNR, for Ruhlman, George J. (rate unknown), serial No. 952 62 47, who was killed in action May 3rd, 1945 in the service of his country, while serving aboard the USS LSMR-195. His remains were committed to the sea in position Lat. 26 deg. 37.5 N, Long. 127 deg. 21.0 E”.Olwillard (talk) 15:30, 12 February 2010 (UTC)70.92.243.29 (talk) 23:05, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
