Ensign Paul F.F. Wangerin, USNRF, (1892-19??)
Paul F.F. Wangerin was born on 1 February 1892. He enlisted
in the U.S. Navy in about 1914, and subsequently appears to have
served in the armored cruisers Tennessee
and North Carolina. On 31 January 1918 he enrolled in the
U.S. Naval Reserve Force, receiving his commission in the rank
of Ensign, after which he served in the destroyer Jarvis
and the patrol vessel Corsair,
with his service in the latter being incorrectly recorded in contemporary
issues of the "Navy Directory" as "P.F.F. Wungrin".
Photographs from Ensign Wangerin's service were donated to the
Naval Historical Center by his wife in 1975.
This page features most of the views we have of Ensign Paul
