Interesting that Frank was in the US Navy. My grandfather, John S. Nichols, was a medical corpsman between about 1925 and the end of World War II. He was stationed at Pearl Harbor in 1941 when the Japanese attacked. He was at some point involved in hospital administration. There is a website called something like the U.S. Navy Memorial Foundation that has information on naval personnel - the only catch is that someone, either the individual himself or his relatives, has to submit the information. You also may want to contact the US Military Personnel people in Saint Louis, Missouri. They have the actual records that still exist (they had a fire that destroyed some at one time) and may be able to help you. I don't have the websites for either of these, but you can probably google them. Hope this helps.

Ther eis a reference to Architectural drawings for a row house ("residence") for Theodosia Pleadwell, 1818 R Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. on the web drawn by an architect, Clarke WAGGAMAN. Can anyone help me with the address? Is is still standing? Can I locate images of it on the web? Secondly, how can I find details of the career of Frank PLEADWELL USN. He was fleet surgeon on the Atlantic fleet (1920s) and Commander of the Naval Hospital in Pearl Harbour 1929(?). I know this may be second nature to those genealogists of US background, but to an Aussie it is not as obvious.
