Capt. John K. Rickles of Indianapolis, Ind., (profile to camera) intelligence office of the 91st Bomb Group at Bassingbourne, England, interrogates crew members after their return from a mission over enemy territory. The men are, left to right: 1st Lt. Donald Baird of Surring, Wisc., and 2nd Lt. George P. Ward of Jacksonville, Texas. 28 June 1943. Note: the caption on the original photo got the name wrong for 1st Lt. Baird. It should have read James D. Baird (Donald was is middle name). And the town he was from was Suring with one “r”.
