Just snooping around a bit more. On the title page of his book Sporting Firearms of Today In Use it says "by Paul A. Curtis, Jr., shooting editor of Field and Stream, Captain (ret) U.S.A., A.E.F."
In the article on his suicide in the New York Times for Sunday, November 21, 1943, it says --
Paul A. Curtis, an American gunnery expert who recently resigned as a captain in the British Army, shot and killed himself at 12:31 P.M. yesterday in the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Gahagan at 277 Park Avenue.
