I am doing research on my father in law. He was in the Pacific theatre in Hq 2nd Battalion 103 infantry, according to his discharge papers. He was awarded the Bronze star and the combat infantry medal. I would like to know anything about the battalion he was attached to. I have been on the internet and the only 103rd infantry I could find was the Cactus infantry in Europe. Where can I look for information. He was in Guadalcanal, New Guinea and the Northern Solomons. I have written to the National Archives, but his record was destroyed in the fire. The only thing they could give me were the discharge papers, which we had.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.
