Roby, machinist mate first class on the ship S. S. Mexican, was lost at sea January 7, 1944, en route to Scot- land on his first trip after completing his training for the merchant marines.

We shall always cherish his memory. His willingness to serve his country truly exemplifies the spirit of American youth.
