The 267th Aero Squadron appears
twice in the list as received at the
War Department, and 1t was assumed
that this was an error in transmits
sion, although officers would not con-
lecture as to whether the same
squadron had been included twice by
the sending operator. or some other
squadron was intended. As the num-
Der of officers and men differs, how
ever, it was assumed that the error
was in the number Of the squadron.
