Eddie Marsh
Posted for: EDWARD K MARSH:
I was Eddie Marsh's roommate at college and didn't find out that he had been killed until long after the war was over. He is the last person imaginable to join the Army, since he wasn't in ROTC and not very much interested in military things.
I got a copy of his personnel records from St Louis and found that he died of fragmentation wounds in the Michelin rubber plantation, which is a long way from Yale.
