U.S.A.: Frederick Clinton Branch is commissioned as the first black officer in the United States' Marine Corps. Branch was a WWII veteran (apparently as a deckhand on merchant vessels though the obits have been scanty on details) and served as an officer in the USMC during the Korean War. He had been refused admission to the Marine Corps Officer Training Corps in 1942 despite high test scores and it was only at the very end of the war when a directive from the White House insisted that racial discrimination be ended in government programs opened the door to him.
