MERRILL'S MARAUDERS MEDICAL DETACHMENT

	5307th Composite Unit Provisional

This page is dedicated to the men of the Medical Detachment, the doctors, aids, technicians, and medics, all who served with honor and distinction. They were not a MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital), They had limited supplies and equipment to fight their battle against tropical diseases, fevers of unknown origins, and the wounds suffered by their fellow Marauders. Often risking their own lives to save the lives of and treat the men of Galahad, these brave men of the medical detachment were never far from the fighting and many times had to perform with a battle raging around them. They marched with the other Marauders over the most hostile battle ground ever encountered by an American armed force, suffering the same fatigue, diseases, malnutrition, wounds and death as the rest of the Marauders. It is to these brother Marauders, who's names are listed below that many of the surviving Marauders owe a debt which could never be repaid
