Marines;
I am trying to find information about two Marines that serves with MGEN Rupertus on Guadalcanal. I know the name of one: John C. Schiller, Jr.
The other is Robert S. Sugo?????
The only way I know them is from their signatures on a document I have. Obviously, the second is not legible but would be easy to discover if I had a roster in front of me. Sadly - this is all I know about them - no rank, no regiment, just 1st MARDIV, Guadalcanal.
So - where can I start? As I am not related to either I am restricted to public records.
In relation to this I have kind of made a hobby of researching the "George" Medal from the Guadalcanal occupation. I know of the one I have, one in the posession of a militaria dealer and two more, that are probably fakes, that a collector has. I do not recall seeing one at the NMUSMC, but hten I was not really LOOKING for one either. Any leads or help in tracking these down for proper preservation & turn over to the NMUSMC would be greatly appreciated.
