Steve Rogers Posted April 25, 2018 Share #2 Posted April 25, 2018 Here's his entry from CWData. If you are pursuing information on other members of the company, there will be lots of material to deal with. CWdata could be worth the minimal subscription fees. Mass Soldiers and Sailors, which they use, is likely available online also for free, but they also add in some material from elsewhere. Benjamin F.
