Hugh Cowan joined Battalion Headquarters on July 13, 1944, as the battle of Saipan was winding down. He was a squad leader, and was likely a replacement for one of the casualties of the previous month of combat.
Cowan served with the company during the battle of Tinian; his subsequent service is unknown, but he was wounded while overseas.
