In a World War II declassified document that was contained in Appendix #7 to Annex “B”., Operation Plan #1-44 of the III PHIB Corps Report on Guam Operation, the military had compiled a list of 40 people on Guam that were believed to be reliable and with considerable influence with the natives on Guam. This was part of the intelligence information gathering used towards the assault and reoccupation of Guam.
I found this list to be of interest particularly with some of the notes of each individual.
