Thanks for the additional pics, Greg. Yes.... Betio Beachhead is one of the classics. My copy belonged to a PFC from K/3/2. This book came with detachable map which are missing from most  books you can find. Mine had one. The Marine circled where he landed on Red Beach 1. As far as contacting families, it is not impossible. I've had about a 20% success rate. Recently, someone contacted me about artifacts that belonged to my dad. Pretty cool as one was a set of dog tags created from New Zealand pennies  that had my dad's info on it. Pretty happy to see that and I'm going to get them at some point. I don't mind giving it a shot if you are. Sometimes, even when I've found the right family, I don't get an answer but I think it is always worth trying. Those that I have made contact with have always been very appreciative of what I've been able to share...
