It is the State of Indiana, City of Rockport, County of Spencer, Township of Ohio, and I am looking for WWII. I am looking for anything on my Uncle James M. Coleman, 82nd Airborne, 505 PIR, 2nd Bn., HH Company. He was in from June 22, 1942 through November 3, 1945. He was injured in Holland which resulted in the loss of his eye. Thanks, Marva Stateler@aol.com >> Marva, Sorry, I looked up the wrong state but I'm sure Indiana is also at that site. I don't think he will be on the 1942, (4th registration) as that was for older men born between 1877 and 1879. But he maybe on the casualty list but I'm not sure if they contained just the men that died or were also wounded. I'm sure the NARA site will state that information. His military service may have survived. I think WW II records are kept in St. Lewis. They had a fire and some records were lost. There should be a page of the NARA site where you can print out an application. I have my father's file from information that he saved and it is quite a bit of information so I would imagine they had a duplicate of his info there. He is listed as Captain USAAF, WWII-ETO-357 Sqd.-355 Fighter Grp. 8TH Air Force. It has all his missions, men he served with and trained. Official photo card, description, blood type that sort of thing. But I found the dates to be the most helpful as to where he was deployed at different times. On a personal note, my Mother told me I was named after a buddy of his that didn't make it back, killed in a crash in Germany, named Robert White. When I asked my father years later about this he didn't say anything, just became silent, so I didn't want to upset him and left it drop. But I found Bob White listed in his records and among the many photographs he took at that time. Good Luck, Robert
