S174: Negro Study
This study was requested originally by the Commanding Officer of a Negro QM Battalion. As plans for the study progressed a second battalion and a separate company also requested that they be included. It was desired to simply “find out how the men felt” and no specific problems of any great significance were offered as subject for investigation.
