After I wrote you the first time, I remembered about 12 years ago I sent away for my deceased father in law's WW I records, I still have the address where I wrote. I did have my father in law's service/serial number, and they did send me his records, but perhaps you can write them and get his service number based on his home address at the time he enlisted. The address I wrote to was: National Personnel Records Center Military Personnel Records 9700 Page Avenue St. Louis, Mo. 63132-5100 Marie in Illinois ----- Original Message ----- From: Diana Davis Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 4:03 PM To: ILPEORIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ILPEORIA-L] Service Number We suspect there would be some papers or dog tags in his apartment but we are not there ---about 10 hr. of driving time and we can't go right now. Perhaps we can get his housekeeper to do a search for us.
