My great-uncle Mandell Newmark (1923-1945) was killed in action during WWII. In honor of Memorial Day, I thought I would transcribe the list of wartime 'buddies' from his war journal. I notice that the handwriting appears to change on the second page. It's possible he handed the book to his friends for them to enter their own information. It occurs to me that it is also possible some of the information was entered after his death.
My great uncle would have been 86 this year. If any of the below are still alive with wartime memories of my great uncle, I would be interested in hearing them.

I happened upon this page while looking for information regarding Kenny Dahlstrom, and saw that he was a buddy of your Uncle Mandell Newmark. I just wanted to let you know that Kenny Dahlstrom was KIA on April 29, 1945.
Just two weeks after Mandell.
