Two minor points. 2d Raider was commanded by Col Evans F. Carlson, hence their common name, "Carlson's Raiders". And, for reasons that elude me, the name is pronounced "muggin".

It says that there were only 400 Japanese troops in the beginning, yet somehow 700 died.

There were 400 laborers as well. Gdr 15:14, 23 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

The 1942 raid section has a fragmented sentence saying the garrison was only 43 soldiers, but the very next sentence says 83 soldiers were killed. 65.95.237.43 17:42, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
