I found some more independent colored units that I found on the internet>
333rd Field Artillery Group, consisting of 333rd Field Artillery Battalion
and 969th Field Artillery Battalion: These were "colored" battalions,
attached to VIII Corps, supporting the 106th Infantry Division when the
German offensive in the Ardennes began.
11 members of the 333rd were captured and then murdered by the Germans
at Wereth, Belgium.
On 20 December, they moved to the defense of Bastogne, where the 969th
became the first "colored" unit to win the Presidential Distinguished Unit Citation.
771st Field Artillery Battalion: at Sibret, a "colored" battalion.
I hope this info is accurate.
