War Department Circular No.323; 13 Dec 1943

[Gary Kennedy]

Does anyone know if there is an accessible source for War Department Circulars, ideally online? I'm aware there were hundreds issued each year, but there is one in particular that I'd like to see. War Department Circular Number 323 (13th December 1943), which would appear to have concerned the increase in ranks for various NCOs in Squads, Sections and Platoons of Rifle and Heavy Weapons Companies of Infantry Battalions.

Thanks,

Gary

Hi Gary and how are you. How’s your marvelous web site doing.
I asked a friend of mine from the states about your quest, he is an ex-US Army Infantry Colonel who has work on tactics and organization as well as commanding a rifle battalion. He said to me that you would find your data at one of these three sites;

The Pentagon Library
Center of Military History
The National Archives

Out of the three, he reckons that the National Archives web site would be the best shot.

Please let me know how you got on.
Regards
Yan

Sorry Gary I missed your post. Yan's recommendations are good, but i would go with the Pentagon library. Check their online search engine.
