My late father was a radioman in the Marines during WWII on Okinawa and in N. China immediately after the war. He was in the 1st Marine regiment Hq & Service company. Just wondering what the H&S Company actually did and its composition. I can imagine, as a radioman probably relaying info from regiment down to the battalions and other companies??? Anyone have some more detailed input? Thanks in advance.
H&S companies consist of all the staff function sections, Admin, Intel, Supply, Plans, Training, Comm, basically all the S-Shops personnel are assigned to Hide and Slide. You might be interested in this link: http://www.ww2gyrene.org/
I can't speak for Marines HQ (God love 'em); but I have a couple of narratives from within an Infantry HQ from 1945 Philippines and Japan.
