Thank You for taking the time to read my question. Is it possible to find out the actions of the unit in this photo. Ive been trying with no luck. I also have other photos of the man whom it belonged to and was wondering if i could find out where his company was located? hopefully the picture helps. thanks again

Judging by the ribbon bar, along with the Navy Commendation Medal
and American Campaign ribbon, he was in the ETO/EAME.

Pretty broad, I know, but after graduation from the NTS,
they would most likely have been split up. He could
have been sent anywhere in the Atlantic or
Mediterranean theaters.

I see no rating or trade patches on his arm, so it's tough
to tell anything about his duties or where he served.

I think the process is called 'hand tinting' which was popular at the time.

My uncle trained at Sampson NY as well. Basic training was followed by additional training for various assignments. In my uncle's case - he went to San Diego for amphibious training. NH

The picture that you describe with a chalky look to it is not colored photo. What you see is damage.
