Many thanks to those who responded to my request about where to find the records for my husband's father in WWII. I've been away so I apologize for the delay in replying. Here is the information I found on him at the www.archives.gov web site: Field Title Value Meaning ARMY SERIAL NUMBER 33492180 33492180 NAME WOLFE#WARREN#A########## WOLFE#WARREN#A########## RESIDENCE: STATE 32 PENNSYLVANIA RESIDENCE: COUNTY 075 LEBANON PLACE OF ENLISTMENT 3252 HARRISBURG PENNSYLVANIA DATE OF ENLISTMENT DAY 20 20 DATE OF ENLISTMENT MONTH 11 11 DATE OF ENLISTMENT YEAR 42 42 GRADE: ALPHA DESIGNATION PVT# Private GRADE: CODE 8 Private BRANCH: ALPHA DESIGNATION BI# Branch Immaterial - Warrant Officers, USA BRANCH: CODE 00 Branch Immaterial - Warrant Officers, USA FIELD USE AS DESIRED # # TERM OF ENLISTMENT 5 Enlistment for the duration of the War or other emergency, plus six months, subject to the discretion of the President or otherwise according to law LONGEVITY ### ### SOURCE OF ARMY PERSONNEL 0 Civil Life NATIVITY 32 PENNSYLVANIA YEAR OF BIRTH 22 22 RACE AND CITIZENSHIP 1 White, citizen EDUCATION 0 Grammar school CIVILIAN OCCUPATION 735 MOTORCYCLIST MARITAL STATUS 2 Married COMPONENT OF THE ARMY 7 Selectees (Enlisted Men) CARD NUMBER # # BOX NUMBER 0667 0667 FILM REEL NUMBER 1.184 1.184 I'm not sure what all that means but we would really like to find his service record to settle a difference of opinion in the family as to what unit he was with and where he served. All help is appreciated and thanks again for the help already given.
