The battalion consisted of more than 400 Marines where the majority of Marines were non-infantrymen despite the mission at hand. During the 206 days of combat including Operation Allen Brook the battalion had taken over 300 casualties and over 100 fatalities. The plaque was dedicated to honor the lives lost and saved by the Marines and Sailors of 3/27 at the National Museum of the Marine Corps Memorial Walkway. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
