	72k	Charles Foster Wedderburn was born in Chicago, III., on 2 October 1892 but grew up in Washington, D.C. Appointed a midshipman at the Naval Academy on 7 July 1911, he graduated and received his commission on 5 June 1915. Ens. Wedderburn served in Brooklyn (Cruiser No. 3) from graduation to the end of 1915. In December 1915, he transferred to Chauncey (Destroyer No. 3) assigned to the Asiatic Fleet and based at Cavite in the Philippines. He was promoted to lieutenant (junior grade) on 1 July 1917; and, a month later, his ship departed Cavite with orders to the coast of France. Based at St. Nazaire, his ship escorted convoys in the eastern Atlantic. While on such a mission about 110 miles west of Gibraltar, Chauncey was involved in a fatal collision with the British merchantman, SS Rose, on the night of 18 and 19 November. The destroyer sank at about 0317 on the morning of the 19th taking Wedderburn and 20 of his comrades to their deaths. Photo courtesy of the Lucky Bag Yearbook - Class of 1915.		Bill Gonyo
