    Hello,
    New recruit here! My Dad, Edwin G Brosemann served in Co A (Able?) 141st Inf 36th Div in World War II from 1943 - 1945. After trying for years I have finally located this info. I know he was in France and Rhineland but no idea of how long or if there are any muster rolls showing the movements? If anyone knows any pages I can research or if this info exists online? Or maybe someone I can reach out to for info, I am very appreciative!

    Welcome.
    This thread:
    http://www.ww2f.com/threads/requesting-copies-of-military-personnel-records.13543/
    Has some info on applying for official information and that sub forum has a number of threads that may be of use. A request with nationality and unit info in the title on the information request sub forum usually gets a pretty quick response although there's usually a decent one here as well from some of the people who frequent this forum and are knowledgeable and helpful in such things. You might also want to use the search area above with "36th Div" or variants there of, some info may already be here at least of a general nature.


    *** edit for ***
    Here's the info request sub forum:

    Found his draft registration. Not much help, but interesting nonetheless.

    I would follow lwd's suggestions. They may help you.
