 Thomas J. Lynch, IT,, RT 2/c of the Pacific naval forces was in correctly recorded as John Lynch IT,, RT 3/c. What was intended for CWO Lewis c. Mccormick of the Pacific Army ground forces appeared as CMO Lewis c. Nc Laughlin and Robert Trombley was called Albert Trombley.
 Misspelling of names indicated Pfc. William Bouley as William Banley; Pfc. John Crane as John Grove; Pfc. Raymond Krantz as Raymond Kranz; Pfc. Charles Courkin as Charles Kaurkin; Pvt. Paul Vasquez as Paul Vasques; Pvt. John Haluchak as John Hal uchad; Pvt. Alexander Skruta, as Alexander Skrute; Harold Schaal, S2/c as Harold Shall; Pvt. William Schaal as William Schall.
