Edward Doherty Bowman (-1943) - Class Of 1941

According to Wesley Phillips Newton, Lanier class of 1943, and author of Montgomery in the Good War, "In October 1943, Cadet Ed Bowman, cheered for his strutting as a Lanier drum major in 1939 and 1940, was killed in a plane crash in Kansas in his last week of basic flight training."
