The Names

The list is unsourced. The Choctaw Nation's memorial does not include anyone named Colbert, but does include Schlicht Billy. http://www.choctawnation.com/history/people/code-talkers/code-talkers-of-wwi/ Irish Melkite (talk) 04:55, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Joseph Oklahombi

Described here as a member of the 141st Infantry. On his linked wiki page, it says 143rd Infantry ???? Irish Melkite (talk) 05:02, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Mitchell Bobb

Mitchell Bobb's Dawes card states pretty clearly that his parents were Ellen Jackson and Ellis Bobb. "Jackson" is listed in the name of Ellen's father, not Mitchell's. Erinspice (talk) 20:16, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Photo

Considering that all were soldiers, in France at the time, a picture that shows almost everyone garbed in civilian clothes seems very unlikely to be captioned properly when that caption describes the individuals as 'in training' to become code talkers ???
