    While copying the War Diary for the unit during its time in Italy I noticed this list of names in the August WD.

    Some 'interesting' ones - 'Esert Rat' and 'Erwin R' stand out.

    EEJIROFF… caught my eye too. Maybe the clerk had a sneezing fit as he was typing that line!

    Wonder what happened to Exterminator I, II and III…
