    Hello! My name is Beth. I am 31, and I am interested in learning all that I can about my grandfather during WWII. I have been researching his path off and on over the past few years, without much luck. I am interested in any information and hope to find access to his unit history if possible. I appreciate any help, advice, or pointing in the right direction!

    I know that he spent time in Alaska, the Asiatic Pacific, Northern France, and Central Europe. I have my grandfather's honorable discharge form. It lists him as being in Co A 118th Inf Regt at the time of his separation on 25 Oct 1945.

    Thank you,
    Beth

    Welcome to the Forum, Beth. We should be able to help you with some of your research. I would recommend starting a post in the section: Military Service Records & Genealogical Research. Pose your questions along with a copy of his discharge papers. We will be able to help you interpret the information on it.
