Hello everyone ! On the grave of my great grand father it's written : CAV REPL TNG CENTER WW II I think it means Cavalry replacement training center. He had 41 years in 1942. Where was the Cavalry training center in 1942 ? What could be his job ? Thomas
I just Googled 'Cavalry replacement training center.' Says Fort Riley Kansas. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Cavalry+replacement+training+center&oq=Cavalry+replacement+training+center&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
I had a friend who trained there. Not sure what this means: "He had 41 years in 1942" The cavalry training center was a large facility. If he had permanent duty there, then is responsibilities could have been almost anything.
Thank you for your answers But I don't understand. My great grand Father had 41 years old in 1942. The year of enlistement was 1942. I don't think he went to fight in Europe. It's a link with informations about his enlistement http://www.fotosik.pl/zdjecie/14ec3099f854846a Do you have an idea about his function in the army ? Thomas
That's pretty interesting and timely for me. I've been looking at the 1st Cav guys that got killed around Feb/March 45' at Antipolo and got to this guy. Pvt. John Riley Brown killed at Antipolo. He apparently was a replacement, drafted in 42' at age 33. He was a police detective or cop. His NARA is not jiving either with some of his witnessed particulars. I found this as well with a well documented other MOH calvary trooper who had no NARA record at all. Something about the 1st cavalry records is mystifying. Might be correlated to their theater activities. I don't get either....yet. NARA for Pvt. Brown. NARA - AAD - Display Full Records - Electronic Army Serial Number Merged File, ca. 1938 - 1946 (Enlistment Records)
