Hi Ronald – thank you for catching that typo! I’ve made the correction. Sorry for the error.
Geoffrey
It continues to read NC!
Hey Danna – fixed it for good this time. Weirdly enough, Pvt. Starkey is listed in the North Carolina volume of WWII casualties – so it’s a typo with a long history!
Cheers,
Geoffrey
