I believe it is Form 180. But double check at the site I previously indicated. I just sent away for WWI records. I don't expect to have good luck. There was a major fire at the Records Office in St. Louis. MO in 1973. Almost 80% of records are gone, for certain service branches (I think it was the Army). Anyways the NARA site would tell you more about that. Good Luck! Linda Hendley wrote: > Does anyone know which form number you use for W.W.1?
