Table of Contents ** Previous Chapter (Appendix II) * Next Chapter (Appendix IV)


Footnotes

1. Marine casualty figures furnished by the Personnel Accounting Section, Records Branch, Personnel Department, Headquarters, U. S. Marine Corps on 12Dec52 and cover the period 21Jul-10Aug44.

2. Naval medical casualty figures furnished by the Medical Statistics Division, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Navy Department on 15Oct52 and cover the period 21Jul-10Aug44. For this same period 49 casualties (5 KIA, 3 DOW, 41 WIA) were listed as having occurred in the Marianas without specifying the island; of this group some men were attached to ships and some were assigned to Marine units.

3. Navy casualty figures were taken from the IIIAC SAR, PersRpt and cover the period 21Jul-11Aug44.

4. Army casualty figures for the 77th InfDiv and attached troops were taken from the 77th InfDiv G-1 Jnl and cover the period 21Jul-10Aug44. Available Army records do not provide a breakdown comparable to that used for Marine units. Casualty information for those Army troops attached to STLF was taken from the IIIAC SAR, PersRpt and cover the period 21Jul-11Aug44.

5. Owing to the method of reporting and recording Marine casualties, most of the DOW totals are repeated in the WIA figures.

6. Twenty-two enlisted men (18 Marine and 4 Army) are still listed as missing in action, presumed dead.
