12 May Robert L. Robb
On August 10, 1944, an administrative team arrived from the Eighth Air Force to handle the administration of the interned personnel in Sweden. This team of six included Captain Robert L. Robb.
Captain Robb was appointed Assistant Military Attache at the American Legation in Stockholm. He quickly became one of Herman’s best friends.
I have researched the U.S. NARA records and have found a file for a Robert L. Robb who was with the Air Corps and enlisted in 1941. His residence on enlistment was Santa Clara County, California. I have also found an address for Mrs. Robb, presumably his Mom, as a hotel in Hollywood, California.
I know Captain Robb and Herman lost touch through the years. I would love to connect with him or with his family. You can email me at pat@libertyladybook.com
Update: I have connected with the daughter of Captain Robb! Hurrah! I still need to identify the gentleman in the center of the photo, and I would like to hear from the family of Dr. Floyd Potter
I love this picture. Skål! Herman Allen-Dr. Floyd Potter-unknown-Captain Robb-Harley Robertson
