author
A World War I compiler and military chronicler, he is best known for assembling a detailed record of the famed Rainbow Division. His surviving work preserves the names and organization of the 42nd Infantry Division at a pivotal moment in American military history.

by Harold Stanley Johnson
Harold Stanley Johnson is known for Roster of the Rainbow Division (Forty-Second) Major General Wm. A. Mann Commanding, a World War I-era volume that he edited and compiled as Lieut. Harold Stanley Johnson. The book is a large roster of the 42nd Infantry Division, the "Rainbow Division," and has remained in circulation through library collections and later reprints.
Because reliable biographical information about him is scarce in the sources available here, it is safest to remember him through that work itself: a careful reference book created to document the officers and soldiers of one of the best-known American divisions of the First World War. For listeners interested in military history, his contribution is less about personal fame and more about preserving a valuable historical record.
