Berald E Woodcock

I am searching for info on Maj. Berald E. Woodcock pictured here in this photo. I briefly wrote about this British Commando in my book, Patriots from the Barrio the true story of Company E 141st Infantry. Woodcock was brought over to the United States to train US Army personnel in Ranger Training at Camp Edwards, MA in the fall of 1942.
