Re: Col. Cornelius Walter "Connie" Cousland USAAF
In a 97th BG narrative I found "on arrival in England, the Group Staff was composed of the following officers..."
Colonel Cornelius W. Cousland, Commanding
Lt. Colonel James H. Walsh, Executive
Major Stephen F. Haney, Adjutant
Captain James H. Felming (Fleming?), S-1
Captain Wendall R. Freeman, S-2
Lt. Colonel Pelham H. Glassford, Operations (=Pelham D. Glassford Jr.?)
The name of Walsh somehow appears as CO 97th BG between Cousland and Armstrong on several websites, He went to 12th Bomb Command (12th AF) in October 1942.
Came across the name of Cousland as assistant air attaché at the US Embassy in Madrid (from Oct 1943) and stateside base commander at some bomber training fields (1944-45).
Retired 31 March 1949.
Regards, Leendert
