"F" CO. ROSTER
This Roster is a "Work in Progress"

F COMPANY ROSTER
A word of caution needs to be injected when dealing with the documentary evidence. Morning Reports (MR's) are subject to error. What can one expect when some of them were written days, and sometimes even weeks later? In Negros, for instance, the 2nd Bn's MR's had not been maintained for weeks, and were only accomplished by Herculean efforts of memory - with corresponding Herculean inaccuracy. The Rosters of "D" and "F" Company were compiled from several sources, none of guaranteed accuracy - the pre-jump rosters were hastily prepared. Even Leabhart's 2nd Bn. Aid Station treatment list is not gospel. Not every 2nd Bn. casualty went through the 2nd Bn. aid station, and not everyone who was treated at the Aid Station was 2nd Bn. There were, one must not forget, 462nd & 161st troopers with us, Bless 'Em All.

A
roster was made shortly before the jump on Corregidor,
but it did not include some last minute additions made shortly before the jump.
