{{Class data disclaimer}}
This wiki combines class-roster fields, research notes, biographies, photographs, and open edits from many sources. Treat pages as a starting point—not finished fact—until you check the Sources on a soldier page. How the material was compiled, what can go wrong, and credit for the Classes 1–31 roster digitization are on [[About the data]].


Soldier biographies, photographs, and captions may come from Facebook posts, family submissions, and automated or AI-assisted editing; anyone can change wiki text. Nothing here should be treated as verified fact without checking primary sources. See [[About the data]] for how material is compiled and where errors can appear.
