"That's the last of TW photos. Most of
the
guys were members of the first squad, third platoon, K Co., some were
the
replacements for others. People are in more than one picture in order
to
have as many as possible in at least one picture. A couple are repeats
but one may be better for you than the other. Unfortunately, I don't
have
pictures of everybody. In any case use what you think best.
For what it is worth I've noted (K) behind the name of the one I know
was
killed, (W) for those wounded and (C) for those who were casualties but
I don't know if they were wounded, killed, etc. Those that landed in
Europe
with the division are noted (O).
Following are full names as best as I can
determine. My best source of information is that map of TW Tracks we
were
given in San Louis Obispo that we signed our names on. Again, sorry
about
any mistakes.
