| 1943 Officer Roster under the Command of Col Pierce |
|
|
|
|
These are the officers that were listed in Oct and Nov of 1943 while the Group was under the command of Col Pierce. About half were soon transferred out of the Group. We have included the 1943 Officer Rosters on this website to assist researchers who are trying to follow the careers of individuals. Some of these officers were listed and shown being away at the time at training schools. We put the city of the training schools in their notes.
