Hello, my name is Dedra Wolff and I am the beginner genealogist of our family. I have color, legible scans of a Christmas Greetings roster book from 17th Balloon Company, Fort Mills, Corregidor, PI, from 1921. My husband's paternal grandfather, PFC Joseph Wolff, sent the booklet to his family in Chicago. I thought it may both add to the Corregidor story and help other searchers.
