84th Roster is 140 pages long. If you narrow the man's unit down to Regiment that is ~33 pages. Battalion narrows it down to ~7. If you only know his company there were only 3 regiments with the same Co. names so that narrows it down to 3 Pages. Special units (Ord, Signal, Med, AA, TD Bn, etc.) narrows it down to a few pages at most. From this I can look up his listing and get his specific unit, Rank, awards, Campaigns, hometown, date he died (if applicable). From that info we can go to various 84th history books and see what he was involved in.
