B-26 Rat Poison

What group was this aircraft assigned to?
 
Text reads:  Martin B-26 Marauder Bomber "Rat Poison" visits 381st Bomb Group base near Ridgewell, Essex County, England. 27 November 1943.
 
Cockpit text reads "?. W. Harris".   B. S. Dugger "Eng" is written above nose gear door.  I can't figure out what that first letter of Harris's initials is supposed to be.
 
Thanks,

    Scott     this is 41-31606 AN--S from the 553BS / 386BG . I think that is F.W.Harris. Believed to have flown 121 missions ?
