Camp Ritchie Class 26 — soldiers whose infobox lists this class. If someone is missing or listed in error, edit that soldier's page.
Dates: 3 January – 3 March 1945
Graduated: 418 of 580 (eight-week MITC class).
Specialties (class counts): IPW German 58; Photo interpretation 45; Counterintelligence 272; Terrain intelligence 12; German translation 23; Russian interpreter 8. See By The Numbers.
Roster members are listed below (last-name headings A–Z, with a count).
Class roster data (Classes 1–31 only). The class, section, and related roster fields for Classes 1–31 come from U.S. government training-roster records held by the National Archives. Camp Ritchie Museum, Inc. (also known as The Ritchie History Museum) digitized that material and made it available for this project. The underlying records are public-domain government information; the museum does not own the data. Please credit the museum as the digitization source when citing this roster. That dataset is separate from Dan Gross's research files and from material created by this wiki's maintainers. We have tried to catch errors, but mistakes and omissions remain possible; not every person who trained at Camp Ritchie appears in this data.
On the original theritchieboys.com site, this material was a separate searchable class roster database. On this wiki it is integrated into soldier profiles, class pages, and related navigation. Attribution to the museum applies to that Classes 1–31 roster data (class/section assignments and related roster fields), not to biographies, photographs, research notes, timelines, or other content on the site. Broader limits on biographies, photographs, and other site content are explained on About the data.
