His name Was Sydney Thomas Jones, but he also went by Sid and maybe even his last name. I don't know what exactly he sailors went by name wise. He was a machinist mate. He got a Purple Heart. He cut his thumb off during a work accident. My grandfather was right around 6 feet tall with dark brown hair, almost black. His eyes were light light blue in color.
