Name: 'Eniwetok' vs 'Enewetok'

The atoll's name is spelled with an 'e' - Enewetok. In fact, the Wikipedia article on the Atoll itself uses the correct spelling ( /info/en/?search=Enewetak_Atoll). So if the battle took place at the atoll, then why is the name of the atoll spelled wrong in the Battle article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.199.119.77 ( talk) 17:18, 15 February 2019 (UTC) reply

"KIA"

In the caption of the photograph where the soldier exhibits the thousand-yard stare, it states "He was KIA at 19, March 24, 1944..." What does KIA mean? Radioactive Feces ( talk) 02:12, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply

Proportionally large number of POWs

Is that notable or just the vagaries of war? MyIP19216811 ( talk) 00:49, 25 June 2023 (UTC) reply
