I think his name was mispelled. Could not find this Marine under Charles Decetise. Found him as Carlo Diacetis of F-2-2 KIA Tinian. Same picture with the latter name in another newspaper article. My interest was peeked as I actually remembered the last name from a previous review of the July Muster roll for 2-2 in 1944. Diacetis was awarded Silver Star for his actions on Tinian.

Tarawa Talkers:
Will have the picture posting capability back shortly. Apparently we ran out of space and I will need to purchase picture hosting with this forum host.

Don't know about the drums. Maybe used for incineration? Hatch had an eastern facing shot but not in the same position so I could not do a full 180. Exposes an area there are not many pictures of at the boundary of R1/R2 which has been one of my focal points.

Took some great film sent to me by a friend and stitched together this panorama filmed by Hatch on R1 the day before Thanksgiving. Still a novice on photoshop so a little sloppy but it creates a 'new' still photo from a pan on film.
Nice job! Note the blurred image of CECILIA in the hole at the water's edge in the background. I am curious about the half buried drums on the beach.

I have tried a couple different computers but I still only get the "A" list to download and not anything else works. I know I used these links 6 months or so ago but it no longer works for me. All I get is pages of text and no PDF. Jon

This is the link I use, Jon. Loads by surnames alphabetically A-Z. I clicked on several and they all bring up a complete list of scanned documents like the one attached for Michael Victor Greco below. Working the same way it always has for me. Some are very large lists and take a very long time to load but it is working. https://www.hqmc.marines.mil/Agencies/USMC-FOIA/WWIISSCitations/

Finished the basic Navy Cross information and re-started on the Silver Star list. Also added A/1/6. It seems the USMC website has a problem with the Silver Star citations that were downloadable on their website. For some reason only "A" seems to work for me and all others come out as text. Anyone else experience this? http://www.tarawaontheweb.org/updates.htmJon
