I assumed my great grand uncle was in a combat role, honestly! It didn't sound like he was doing too much cooking early in his time in the war...
That just about solves it for me! I see his patch was with the 2nd Infantry so all I can do now is check out their movements and operations in the...
Ha! No doubt!
First, I'd like to apologize about posting this on a WW2 forum, but you guys really know your stuff and I couldn't think of a better place to...
I finally got back to you guys on this! Looks like he was in the 106th with the 81st Engineers Combat Battalion and he has four service stars on...
No luck yet! Haven't been able to find a lot of records to search through, but I have been doing a lot of reading about the Constabulary brigades....
Yeah, thank you, Rich! I still definitely want to find out as much as I can about his service, and you have been incredibly helpful! I guess I'm...
The picture is just him in his uniform, no patches or pins of any kind though. His cap had the light blue piping, so he was infantry. I've asked...
He enlisted as a PFC a day after being discharged on November 3rd, 1945. It's listed on the electronic enlistment records. NARA - AAD - Display...
When he reenlisted on November 3, 1945, his rank was PFC. Was he promoted to that rank just for reenlisting I wonder? I'm fairly certain that he...
I disagree with your evaluation. His previous organization or place was Fort Dix, New Jersey. Fort Dix was used for training many divisions to be...
Hm, good idea! I'll definitely check with the funeral home. I'll do anything that'll get me closer to knowing! I do wonder why the County Clerk...
Yes, I understand that. I don't know his original enlistment date. But it's clear that he enlisted previously as it's listed twice on his final...
I have his draft card and his reenlistment at Fort Ord as a PFC in November of 1945. As you can see from his final pay voucher, he originally...
My main goal is to find anything that could help me identify which division and regiment he was in during his time in Europe. Learning that his...
I was considering Golden Arrow Research, but when I contacted them I was told it'd be 250-300 dollars. So I am saving it for a last resort.
Ah, I see! Back to square one.
He was last paid before reenlisting in Nov of 45 by JS Peeples Maj FD. Maybe that'd help me figure some things out. Does anyone know anything...
I've contacted dozens of family members, great aunts and uncles, and even my great grandfather's brother. I got a photograph in his uniform from...
I recently got back my great-grandfather's final pay records, and was wondering if anyone could give me any information from them. I've been...
