WWII army units - NO CO J
#9

......... there was NO COMPANY J in WWII. Did ya know that.? They wanted to avoid confusion because the letter "I" looks too much like the letter "J", so they actually skipped it ..........

 

That actually harks back to the Civil War for the US Army -- and that is why there is no 7th Cavalry Company J memorialized for the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
