William F. Ross, a graduate of Hamilton College (Clinton, N.Y.), has done graduate work in Germanics at the University of Berlin and at Harvard. Commissioned in the Field Artillery, AUS, in 1942, he then received training as a prisoner of war interrogator at Camp Ritchie, Md., and served in the G-2 Division in the Pentagon. He was an assistant military attache in Turkey from 1943 to 1946, and was then employed in the National Archives for a year, surveying the federal records created during the war. He is one of the coauthors of Federal Records of World War II: The Military Agencies (Washington, 1950). Returning to active military duty late in 1947, he was assigned to OCMH in various capacities for nearly four years. During that time he was the last Army-sponsored editor of Military Affairs, and later was senior member of the team that translated and edited the German Reports Series of Department of the Army pamphlets. He was transferred to the Historical Division, U.S. Army, Europe, in 1951, and while there edited and brought to press the Guide to Foreign Military Studies, 1945-54: Catalog and Index (Darmstadt, 1955). During the years 1957-61, when Mr. Ross was engaged in writing The Quartermaster Corps: Operations in the War Against Germany, he was a civilian employee in the Historical Branch, Office of The Quartermaster General. He is now Assistant Historian, Defense Supply Agency. Charles F. Romanus is coauthor of three volumes on the China-Burma-India Theater already published in the series UNITED STATES ARMY IN WORLD WAR II: Stilwell's Mission to China (1953); Stilwell's Command Problems (1956); and Time Runs Out in CBI (1959). He received the degree of Master of Arts in history from the University of Illinois and pursued his work for a doctorate at Louisiana State University, where he was a teaching fellow in history. Entering the Army in 1943, he was commissioned in March 1945 and became a historian in Headquarters, China Theater. Except for the 3-year period (1953-56) during which he worked on the present volume as a member of the Historical Section, Office of The Quartermaster General, he has been on the staff of the Office of the Chief of Military History since 1946, serving presently as Chief, General Reference Branch. He holds a commission as major in the U.S. Army Reserve.
