We do not know on which cruiser they were taken or when.
I posted two of them on our Flag 1956 - 1957 link and filed the rest of these pictures away.
In recent months I have scanned the 1956 and 1957 USS Helena Cruise Books.
Leo is half correct in that our 1956 cruise book does not contain pictures of the 7th Fleet Flag, except for a picture of Admiral Ingersoll.
Admiral Beakley took command of 7th Fleet on 28 January 1957. Our 1957 Helena cruise book contains pictures of the Flag Personnel.
While going through files this date, 18 February 2008, I found the pictures you see displayed below.
Leo----better late than never.
Look for Leo in the "Boat Pool" picture below.
Editor.
The following email was received on 27 April 2005.
I was on the helena from 1956 to 1958 in the flag allowance as a bosn mate for Admiral Beakley. I was his driver in Taiwan and Japan.
I cannot find anything about the flag in any of the ships I was on during that time. I guess no one took pictures of us.
I have never have found anything about the flag men since I started to look.
