    You might to try posting your query on the following site:

    TarawaTalk

    It's the message board for Tarawa on the Web a VERY useful site that's put together by a good number of informative people.

    The message board itself is populated with numerous Tarawa vets as well as military enthusiasts with a multitude of muster rolls and action reports.

    Good luck!
