Officially they were commanded by Lt. Colonels with Majors as execs. For various reasons, including mostly attrition among officers, Majors often ended up commanding.

Was it common for High ranking officers to go into combat? Bn Hqs are in CMBO so whats that Colonel level? But generals and brigaders? Rank of Bn HQs depends on the army. British Army Bns are commanded by Lt. Cols. US Army Bns are commanded by Majors. I think. </font> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Roosevelt furiously assaulted Omaha beach in his DD wheelchair. Twice. In battle lust, He ate four Germans and a battallion of Armenian volounteer veterinaries. Contrary to popular belief, he later apologised about the Armenians. Churchill of course outdid him on every count, hurling Molotov cocktails across the Channel using emtpied Whisky bottles, knocking out a German airfield, armoured train and four obscure Irish poets. That's not mentioning how Stalin used to roam the frontline at nights all through 42 and 43 and strangle every Pommeranian soldier he found. To this day, it is not known why he hated Pommeranians so, but apparently it had something to do with his sister. The prize winner will however have to be the Japanese emperor, who tried to murder himself savagely every fortnight, for reasons known only to the Japanese.
