Undue importance[edit]

This article co-ops the term "Lost Battalion" for a unit in the European theater of WW II. Another "lost battalion" of at least equal significance was in the Pacific theater. I propose retitling this article Lost Battalion (Europe, World War II) and creating another called Lost Battalion (Pacific, World War II). Any objections?

No objections being expressed, I'll change the title.Smallchief (talk 18:09, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Battalions[edit]

36th Division cannot have had only three battalions, surely?Royalcourtier (talk) 03:55, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Background[edit]

Not clear why the troops were in the Vosges. Were they left over from Operation Dragoon? Valetude (talk) 00:24, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
