Following is a list of public domain Websites and individuals that assisted in compiling the information contained in this document and appendices. I express my gratitude to all the veterans who took the time to write, email, or call me, and to the individuals who maintain the Websites designed to record and preserve the history of the CBI theater in WWII.
One fact I have discovered is that history is only as accurate as the effort made to record it and that unless the effort is made to record it will be lost. This is evident as several of the Websites used to compile this document are no longer active as the persons who maintained them have made their final flight over the hump and their sites are now lost to us. The same is true for several of the veterans who assisted me in this effort. I hope that this will be a living document that will help preserve the history of the CBI and the men who fought there.
