!!205 days lost under aw (article of war) 107!!

Received a copy of my grandfather's honorable discharge and it states that he lost 205 days under aw 107. Is there a way to find out if the number of days was specifically tied to a specific infraction? He was honorably discharged. Served in Naples-Foggia, Southern France-arrowhead, and Rhineland. Inducted Oct 43 and returned to USA May 46.
Any thoughts are appreciated. Still waiting on NARA. Request made in Dec 09 and was given a July 7 2010 completion date. Go Army!

 

this could mean anything but my guess is that your grandfather enjoyed partying and sometimes returned too late. Small infractions could be accumulated, so 205 days could for instance 7 times a one month infraction for forgetting to show up on a Monday morning or having a hang over etc....

"ART. 107. SOLDIERS TO MAKE GOOD TIME LOST. Every soldier who deserts the service of the United States, or who without proper authority absents himself from his organization, station, or duty for more than one day, or who is confined for more than one day under sentence, or while awaiting trial and disposition of his case, if the trial results in conviction, or who through the intemperate use of drugs or alcoholic liquor, or through disease the result of his own misconduct, renders himself unable for more than one day to perform duty shall be liable to serve, after his return to a full duty status, for such period as shall, with the time he may have served prior to such desertion, unauthorized absence, confinement, or inability to perform duty, amount to the full term to his enlistment."

 

If only that were the case. My grandfather was with the 36ID 142d Company L and was too busy kicking German ass on the front line to get a weekend out drinking. His court martial paperwork makes a reference to the need for secrecy so no details are given in the notification document.

 

That's quite a mystery. Nara may be you biggest chance then. . Be prepared for never finding out what really happened then . Besides it doesn't matter . Firstly he served , secondly he was discharged honorably, so the rest does not count .
