Every US Company kept a log, a units diary more or less. Locate it and you might find your answer, depending on how well the Company Clerk kept it. When cleaning out my fathers estate I found a copy of one such log, the wealth of day to day info was incredible. Who was KIA and how it happened, who went on sick call, units daily mission, all sorts of small stuff that gets overlooked. The surrending officers name may be in one such log,,,,,,,,,,,, a place to start looking would be the unit reunion organization. Start you search soon though as most of America's greatest generation are dwindling.
