I had a good friend missing when we came out of the Chosin reservoir 
in Dec. 1950. His name started with God I believe it was Godfeller
(its been a long time) He was in the radio section of H&S company 
1st Marine Reg., 1st Marine Division. I was told he got up on the
last tanks coming out and the tanks didn't make it. I am wondering
if he is listed as KIA or MIA?

There were not many marines who had a last name starting with God.
Any info you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ted
Leland may have been his first name, the date is correct. You didn't
say if he was listed as kia or mia, maybe no one knows for sure. I
remember him in 1949 at Camp Lejune, NC he would sing on long field
marches. He was a easy going and good natured Marine.
