A wartime bulletin introduces Captain George L. Edwards of Hartsville South Carolina as the new commanding officer. It details his education at Clemson class of 1931, service shift from field artillery to the Army Air Corps on Pearl Harbor day, assignments at Fort Thomas Fort Logan Stillwater and Sheppard Field, promotions to captain, and his return to command at Oklahoma A and M Stillwater and Sheppard Field. The note closes with local updates and light banter about soldiers socializing and sports results.
