"D" CO. ROSTER 16 FEB 1945 24 FEB 1945 _________________ John Lindgren   This Roster is a "Work in Progress"	D COMPANY ROSTER This roster is compiled from two surviving documents - a roster of men present and accounted for on 24 February, and a roster of those not on duty that day. From this, we have a tolerable list of those in D Co. who jumped on Corregidor.  A roster was made shortly before the jump on Corregidor, but it did not include some last minute additions made shortly before the jump.
	It is also cross-referenced with the 2nd Battalion Aid Station records, and for Awards.

	The 503d PRCT Heritage Battalion  and the The Corregidor Historic Society rely upon donations from like-minded individuals with a commitment to the volunteer spirit.  Join us, and make sure we're here the next time you are. Editorial Heritage Bn. Policy ► Board Members►

                             Of the 2065 men of both lifts, about 280, or approximately 13.5 percent, were killed or severely injured. Of these, 2[ex A Co., 504th PIR] were injured on landing, and another 50 woulded either in the air or on grounding. Some 180 had to be evacuated and hospitalized. Three men who suffered malfunctions and two who swung into the sides of buildings, were killed, and an unfortunate eight� mostly men who blew over the cliffs and landed in front of Japanese caves � were slain in the air or before they could get out of their chutes. Six remained missing after the final count was in.

Among those who jumped at Corregidor, three had parachutes that failed to open. Eleven other men sustained fatal injuries when they crashed into demolished buildings or debris surrounding the drop zones. Fifty troopers were wounded either in descent or after landing. An additional 2[ex A Co., 504th PIR] were injured -- many receiving severe compound fractures or concussions. The casualties for the 503d RCT troopers on 16 February were 21 killed in action, 267 wounded or injured, and an unknown number unaccounted for.
