No Photo Available | - | Charles Lawrence Ausburne was born in New Orleans, La., 26 July 1889, and enlisted in the Navy 25 February 1908. As an Electrician First Class, Ausburne manned the emergency wireless station in the Army transport Antilles, and following the ship's fatal torpedoing 17 October 1917, stood to his duty until the ship sank beneath him. His gallantry was recognized in the posthumous award of the Navy Cross. Since other family members spelled their name as Ausburn, the first ship to bear his name followed that spelling. It was later found that he himself signed as Ausburne, and the second ship's name was so spelled. | Robert M. Cieri |
