**************************
Bill Calhoun recalls: At the time of the Nadzab jump Mike Hostinski
was the 1st sergeant. This is obvious in reading the Journal. When I
joined the company, 3 January 1944, �Pinky Wilson was the first sergeant.
Also, when I joined 1st Lt Arthur E. Schuder was the first platoon leader,
�Red Dog� LaVanchure was the third platoon leader, William McRoberts was
the company executive officer, and �City� Parks, now Captain, commanded
the company.
A memorandum from �503d Parachute Infantry,
A.P.O. 929�, dated 5 September 1943, �SUBJECT: Roster of Officers� states
�the following is a roster of Officers who participated in the Markam
Valley, Lae Campaign 5 September 1943.

(This Roster has been cut short) The
regimental memorandum evidently was on legal size paper. When the copy
was made it was made on letter size; therefore, "E" Company officers were
not included. The listing of the "E" Company officers and assignments in
the adjutant�s journal are correct.
