What things Should be in a Soldier’s Personnel File from WWII?
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?
