2nd Marine Division on Tarawa - AAR

Hi everyone!

Would appreciate any help in searching for 2nd Marine Division Tarawa after action reports.

I found some report fragments on Tarawa on the Web (moslty "what to be improved") and a translated Intelligence materials on Japaneese documents (plans and instructions).
But I am looking for reports on how the battle was proceeding, especially on 2/2 Marines or anything about beach Red 2.

Please, let me know if you have something or know a forum where someone should know.

Many thanks, especially for the last link.

 

I suppose It wouldn't be off-top to ask it here.

I was searching who was the comanding officer of G Company 2/2 2nd Mardiv on Tarawa.

I found action reps here
HyperWar: Tarawa--2d Marine Division After Action Report
But it's Lieutenant James C. Reed, Jr., Executive Officer who prepared report for G company.
I thought G Coy CO must had been fallen in action, but never found any captain rank form this unit among KIA and WIA lists. Spent a couple of hours on Fold3.com - no result.

If you know where to find such info - let me know, please.

 

Can't help you with that, not my field.

Ask about a USN pilot from the war years, the basic who, what, where and I could probably have an answer in 15 minutes or so from my reading the question.
