Hi, I'm looking for the first names of 3 officers who worked in the
Army Services Forces (War Department) in World War II.  Their ranks,
first initials, and last names are:

  Colonel L.A. Denson
  Brigadier General G.J. Richards
  Colonel J.K. Herbert

They all had some association with the following article:

Denson, L.A. and Wood, Walter A., Jr.  ?Notes on Presentation of
Requirements Division Before Procurement Review Board: Army Supply
Program and Matters Related to Requirements Division.?  United States.
 Army Service Forces, War Department.  1943.  Record Group 160, Entry
94, Box 697 and Entry 88, Box 580.  National Archives II Building,
College Park, MD.

Walter Wood (listed above) was a Major General.  I believe Denson and
Wood were in the Requirements Division, and Herbert & Richards were in
the Procurement Review Board.

Thanks!
Chris
