The Okinawa related series were produced on several types of post card photopaper stocks.

Type I, EKC ("Eastman Kodak Co.")
Type II, EKC with a "Grogan Photo Co" divider
Type III, No Stamp Box - with "Post Card Grogan Photo Co. Danville, Ill." printed on back
Type IV, Stamp box that says "Grogan Photo Place Stamp Here."

Below are the cards which have been confirmed. I would like to thank Donn Cuson for helping fill in many of the missing numbers. Donn has prepared a monograph on this series. He has identified six types of cards. His monograph contains a check list of the cards. Some of the numbers appear on more than one type of card. If you are interested in purchasing this monograph, contact me and I will put you in touch with Donn.

As you can see, gaps remain on some of the series. Information to fill in the blanks would be appreciated.

The Grogan Company also produced souvenir photograph packs depicting the fighting on Okinawa. These photographs are on photo paper, black and white and 2 3/8 x 3 3/8 inches. Thus far, packs of 10 each designated "Series 1" and "Series 2" have been confirmed. These came in a mailer envelope with the lettering: "10 Genuine Photographs, Okinawa, Series No. 1 (or 2), Mfg by Grogan Photo Co., Danville Illinois." Each photograph has the following imprint in black inside a white rectangular box at the lower right corner: "Official US Marine Corps Photo." To see the pack for Series 2, click here.

 
Official Photo Co. Okinawa Battle Photographs. Images similar to the Grogan picture post cards are found on 4 x 5 inch black and white glossy photographs. Each photograph has "Okinawa USMC Photo" in white lettering at the bottom. These were sold by the Official Photos Company of Hollywood, California. I have seen a set of 20 with the following information on the envelope.

U.S. Marine Corps Photos, Set No. 17, 20 Photographs, Okinawa Operation, February 18, 1944, Price $1.20, Official Photos Co., 1434 North Western Avenue, Hollywood 27, California

While the set's envelope carries the date February 18, 1944, the images appear to depict combat during the battle of Okinawa (April, 1945) and scenes showing the results of the combat.
