History District Supply Company 
Beauregard, La.  
Army Personnel 
2nd Lt. T. J. Murphy, Jr.; commanding 
2nd Lt. Ralph S. Leblanc; Mess Officer  

In the organization of the Civilian Conservation Corps in May of 1933, 
the District Supply Company was first called together. It was composed 
of fifty able enrollees who were destined to play an important part 
throughout the entire life of the organization. These men were picked 
for sturdiness and technical ability. They were charged with the tasks 
of making preparations to enroll and prepare the members for the field 
camps. 

Each man had a specific duty. There were clerks, typists, messengers, 
operators and various posts of duty that had to be filled by these 
capable and efficient men. At first, all of their work was directed 
and supervised by regular Army officers. Harmony and co-operation 
were the keywords.  

The official establishment of the Supply company was not completed until 
July 18, 1933. Joseph E. James, Jr., Second Lieutenant, 22nd Infantry, 
was the first to assume the responsibility of Commanding Officer. As the
duties increase, so did the members. Its services were required for other 
duties, and he was replaced by Jesse S. Hoffpauir. First Lieutenant, Q.M 
Reserve. Lieutenant Hoffpauir proved his efficiency as a Company commander 
very early. He was admired by all members of the company, and it was 
regretted when Lt. Hoffpauir was relieved of command to devote his entire 
time to the Quartermaster's Office.  

Walter D. Cailleteau, Second Lieutenant, Infantry-Reserved, next assumed 
command, and under his able leadership, the Supply company continued in 
its efficiency. Lt. Cailleteau's stern characteristics were seasoned 
with kindness, consideration and thoughtfulness for the members under 
his command. A the termination of his tour of duty he was relieved by 
Jefferson Z. Amacker, Captain, infantry-Reserve, whose personality was 
soon radiated to all the members of the Company. The company by this 
time had increased to more than 130 members. Captain Amacker's services 
were in demand as Commanding Officer of a field Company, and thus the 
Supply company lost this able leader to the Bogalusa Camp.  

The members of the Supply Company soon learned that the exchange of 
Commanding Officers was fortunately a mere exchange of friends, as 
Louis B. Magid, Jr., First Lieutenant, 326th Infantry, who relieved 
Captain Amacker, had the interest of the members at heart, and the 
same efficiency that the Supply Company had always known continued. 
At the termination of Lt. Magid's tour of duty, Chester A. Peyronnin, 
First Lieutenant CASC, Beauregard, assumed command. Lt. Peyronnin 
proved to be an able leader, and successfully guided the Company 
throughout his tour of duty.  

Lt. Peyronnin was assigned as Commander of a field company and was 
relieved of his duties as Commander of the Supply Company by Thomas 
J. Murphy, Jr. Second Lieutenant, 346 Omfamtru-Reserve. Lt. Murphy 
did much to improve all conditions in the Supply Company. In addition 
to Lt. Murphy, the Supply company is served by Ralph S. LeBlanc, 
Second Lieutenant, 348th Inf.
