Note — Line 27: Name read as “STZEL” on original but corrected to TETZEL per the March 1943 muster where the name is clearly legible.
Note — Lines 20, 23: Received dates show “15 Dec 1942” which post-dates this muster (30 Sept 1942). Likely should read “15 Dec 1941” (commissioning date). Year digit may be misread.
