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. earl@matnet.com ----from the KWP---- Possible match Godfrey, Leland Clair USMC Svc# 1059061 Rank PVT, e1 Home Aberdeen, Wa CasDt 12/9/50 BirDt 9/28/29 A BTRY 1 BN 11 MAR 1 MAR DIV --more--- 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.
