The 1943 Company Roster

Here are the full page scans that Jeff Padell sent over. In each case, I've tried to add the fate of each Marine. When reading, bear in mind: all but 6 of those marked with a question mark should have WIA or KIA after them. Also, the sources I have been using don't make note of where an injury occurred, multiple wounds (there are several), or those who were wounded and returned to duty (there are several more), so WIA is a broad category... but in each case, it's a young man who was physically harmed under terrible circumstances.

Names in bold were with the company when it embarked at the end of the Iwo Jima campaign.

Jeff also kindly scanned the pages for the rest of First Battalion, which I will post sometime next week.
