Thank you, I will try that, but it does not seem easy, and there are very little data on line. Maybe I will become more optimistic, when I look more into it.

I think I feel Arne's pain. There has been lots of praise of this Doughboy site (http://www.worldwar1.com/dbc), but I, too, have been unable to find anything specific and relevant to a particular ancestor on it. There is lots of good history, anecdotes, and such, that make for hours of interesting reading, but I find nothing specific. So, if there are any actual names? Any acutal databases, actual lists of soldiers, unit histories, service records, lists of wounded, lists of KIAs, MIAs, etc., the kinds of things one might find in an "Order of Battle," or transcribed "military service records?" If so, I would like to know how and where to find them. Must one be a paid subscriber to access the good stuff?

The Korean War Project has a lot of names and are hunting relatives of those that did not make it back home. delilah ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Crider" <dbcrider@yahoo.com> To: <greatwar@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 2:05 PM Subject: Re: [GREATWAR] WWI, Doughboy site |I think I feel Arne's pain.

Would it be possible to send for his service record and if so where would I apply? Or would I need more information? Peter
