Below is a transcription (scanner still out-to-lunch) of a page of
information sent to me by Bob Derosier, B.A.R. man for 2nd Squad and a
friend of my dad's. In the upper right corner it says "page 21" but I have
nothing else that goes with it and have no idea of its original source. It's
really not that much, but I found it very interesting.

Don Bevelacqua has this noted as "squad line up when we went into combat.
