Company 404 Recruit Roster
Editorial Note: Recruit photos and rosters were originally arranged in photo order, typically in rough alphabetical sequence. However, out-of-order appearances are common due to reassignments (for example, illness or transfer between companies), duty conflicts during scheduled photo sessions, or production errors during yearbook printing. GG Archives preserves the original published layout and also provides an alphabetized roster with photo-page references for researcher convenience.
