General William Oscar Brice, USMC

Here's a wonderful article that my cousin found on our great-grandfather, four-star Marine Corp. General William Oscar Brice.


"General William Oscar Brice, a veteran of the Korean conflict, the World War II fight for the Solomon Islands and pre-war expeditionary duty in Haiti and China, died 30 January 1972 at the U.S. Army Hospital, Ft. Jackson, South Carolina. He last served at Pearl Harbor as Commanding General, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific, after more than three years at Marine Corps Headquarters, Washington, D.C., as Director of Marine Aviation, Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps for Air and Assistant Chief of Naval Operations for Marine Aviation."
