Interesting. I don't believe I've heard of that one. Depending on what time you want to use as a starting point, a US sailor was killed at Shanghai in 1937. |

Yes, it was new to me as well. |

On 12 Dec 1937, two [sic] American sailors were killed because of the Japanese attack on the USS Panay. At 3:54pm, the Panay sank as a result of the attack. Storekeeper First Class Charles Lee Ensminger, Standard Oil tanker captain Carl H. Carlson and Italian reporter Sandro Sandri were killed, Coxswain Edgar C. Hulsebus died later that night [actually on 19 Dec]. From link Jim |
