Hiroshima, Get Over it asked:

I requested my father’s military service records. He served during WWII.

I understand that lots of records were lost in a major fire at the records center, but the only papers that we received in response to our request were his DD-214 (discharge) and his separation qualification record.

I was surprised by how few records were given to us.

Are those the only items that are typically in a WWII soldier’s file?
