Thanks Marion,
You show remarkable understanding and care. Thank you!
If I remember the numbers correctly, the 3rd Infantry Division (average strength) was 10 to 12 thousand men, suffered about 35,000 battle casualties in WWII and an equal number of non-battle casualties. (Malaria, Trench Foot, Jaundice , etc.) Ref: "History of the 3rd Inf Div in WWII." Compiled by author and friend, Lt. Nathan White from my company. Now deceased.
