nchistory Posted August 11, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2019 AUSTRALIAN Battledress 1st USMC Div Bloodied Patch of Theodore Wall, Weapons Company 1st Marine Regiment. Wall served at Capt. Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa. He was wounded at Okinawa. His records seem to have confusion on date wounded, generally accepted as May, 3, 1945. I will share the documents, maybe a forum member can help. Nice red embroidered trimmed Aussie 1st Division patch. A nice untouched battledress.

Blacksmith Posted August 11, 2019 Share #18 Posted August 11, 2019 His Casualty Card has the date of 5/3/1945 for his injury. That is an exquisite tunic by the way.

nchistory Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share #21 Posted August 11, 2019 This document indicates April 29, 1945 wounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith Posted August 11, 2019 Share #22 Posted August 11, 2019 He does not appear on any Muster Roll after April 1945, which would be another point of reference to date of injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchistory Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share #23 Posted August 11, 2019 Bottom of same document above says May 3, 1945. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchistory Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share #24 Posted August 11, 2019 This looks like May 2nd wounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith Posted August 11, 2019 Share #25 Posted August 11, 2019 I think the May 3rd date is the correct one. Her is a snippet of his unit Muster Roll for April 1945, and it mentions nothing about him being wounded. Footnote D is regarding those Marines joining the unit on the 24th, from the 29th Replacement Draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
