However, the 1939 National Guard/Militia book does not contain an index. It will be helpful to me to know approximately where your ancestor lived and in what capacity he might have served the Guard i.e. Medical,Staff,Special Troops,etc. If you know what brigade or division or company even better. I know very little about military history but I am learning so bear with me please.
