Can you help with a Marine???

[CaptO]

Were I a betting man, I would put my money on Tarawa. The last day of the battle was November 23rd, 1943. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tarawa) Lots of Marines died in many place concurrently throughout the war but simple law of averages would say that it is more likely to have occurred on Tarawa if his date of death was during the three days of the battle.
