    From past experience:
    1) Try any internet web sites for each unit and run down any names/addys from there.
    2) Get info on any past alumni reunions and run down the attendees.
    3) Desperation long shots that work more often than you think - obtain names and addresses of unit members from period documents - enlistment records, etc. and then hit yellow pages .com.
    4) Search obituaries for names of unit members, take what info you can get - sometimes you will find guest book entries.

    Good Luck,
    John
