159th combat Engrs

You can obtain records at his local Veteran's Admin. If he needed any kind of medical assistance, the VA would have his discharge papers. This is how I acquired my father's records. Many people do not know this and think that NARA in St Louis was the only place.

 

That and other sources of info are located here on our forum:

Local newspapers from his home town, are also good sources for info. You may often turn up a photo and/or article on a loved one during the war, as this was common practice. Therefore you may wish to contact/visit local libraries and newspapers.
