Raidercollector Posted April 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 24, 2019 Here is another one of my Tarawa veteran uniform's Cpl Glenn D Gattis Fought on Guadalcanal Tarawa Saipan. .He was from Alabama. Died at a young age of 31 in 1952. He was never wounded during the war. On Tarawa he was with the 6th Marines 3rd Bn,Company L. Mortar PL. I took a photo out of my Tarawa book telling Little about Company L on Tarawa. They took heavy loses and wounded.The uniform is named to him only.You see it as I received it,I added nothing. Enjoy. I do not have his file yet ,Just research from ancestry.should be more interesting things in his file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
