First off, try put a message in my bulletin board. You
also might want to check out or put an advertisment in the back of a few
military magazines. (DAV, Legionnaire, VFW, WWII, Military, etc.) This
is the best way to find if there is any current reunions for the outfit.
Also by posting an advertisement in them, may bring forward some one who
knew the person or outfit. Below is information about military records,
personnel and units.
Also get a copy of a book (from a library) called Order
of Battle of WWII (it is available in most larger libraries)
