Ok... so I was contacted by the Archival Records and they said that Grandad's records were infact destroyed in the fire. A file had been reconstructed but it didn't contain anything I didn't already know. The very nice man said that since they charge for copies, he was advising me that it wasn't worth my money. He was able to give me a discharge date for Grandpa over the phone which I did not have. This date is fishy to me for several reasons. I am wondering now, was it at all possible for a soldier to be home for sometime before being discharged and given his papers? I am going to contact the VA as he said they would have a copy of his original discharge papers when (if) Grandad filed for benefits, but in the meantime, if someone can answer that question for me, it would be most appreciated. Thanks!
