I just obtained a copy of a YANK Magazine article about the African-American 333 Field Artillery Battalion that was highly decorated. The article refers to the soldiers as Negroes.

The 333 FA was in the path of the German attack during the Battle of the Bulge on 16-17 December 1944. It suffered more casualties than any other field artillery battalion in Europe. Due to heavy losses, it was merged with the 969 Field Artillery Battalion and supported the 101st Airborne Division's defense of Bastonge. The 969 FA and members of the 333 FA serving with them received the Presidential Unit Citation.
