Can anyone give me some directives on what to do next with this information? I found on the Jefferson Barracks website that my grandfather is buried there. The listing states: Von Gerichten, Philip: b 03/31/1869, d 01/29/1950. US Army PVT. Plot: 71 0 424D, bur. 02/01/1950. He died at the VA Center, Leavenworth, KS, where he had been for two years. I remember as a 7-yr old going to the funeral (and wondering how they got that big flag folded into such a little triangle). That's all I know, other than the funeral book which says Philip was buried by the VFW 11th Dist/MO. I don't have enough information to request military records from NARA, do I? I downloaded the 180 but hesitate to send it in with the limited info above; I'm not sure how to proceed from here. Any help appreciated. Ranee in Kirkwood/St Louis
