Many of the men who enlisted for WWII were listed as Branch Immaterial (Warrant Officer), still not sure what that means as this is listed for my father as well. - Linda Simpson ----- Original Message ----- From: Robin Inge To: TXGEN@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, April 12, 2009 9:52 AM Subject: Re: [TXGEN] Military Search Information Ok all you Military buffs.... need little help here. Located information on a family member last night and headstone shows following information: CPL 662 PORT CO TO WWII (what does all this stand for) Does it mean he was a Corporal. (Army, Navy... ?) I located his WWII enlistment record on Ancestory and it states the enlistment date, shows branch as BRANCH Immaterial, Warrent Officer. (Is this what he was when he enlisted?) Where can I go to find more information. He died in Santa Fe Co, NW in 1958...
