Blacksmith Posted May 27, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 27, 2020 There is a gap for him on the muster rolls, between January and July of 1945, although he does show as being with the V Amphibious Corps, as a baker in the commissary. The best information, as to whether he was actually on Iwo, will be in his NARA files. BTW - You are holding the flag backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
