Hello, I am looking for what happened to my uncle during WWII. He apparently died at boot camp or somewhere in a strange accident on August 11, 1943. The story is shrouded in mystery and I cannot find anything in my parents' paperwork to help with any clues. I have done many searches and finally found one record at the WWIIMemorial website. The info there states: PVT Armon B. Kalashian ID: 39095727 Branch of Service: U.S. Army Hometown: Fresno, CA Status: DNB Another clue I found was in a letter from an old army buddy who talked about being at Camp Crowder together with my uncle. I would appreciate it you could direct me as to where I might be able to find out what happened to my uncle. Thanking you kindly, Shirley Collins Auberry, CA

would you know his date of birth - I found 7 listed on NARA Sarkis Paul A John B Aharon Seth Reuben None of them had the SN you gave and I think three were listed as being from Fresnobut only one enlisted in 1943 and he was born in 1908 - the other were from MAssachusetts.and one from Rhode Island. ----- Original Message ----- From: "R&S Collins" <rdcsjc@netptc.net> To: <WORLDWAR2@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 1:48 PM Subject: [WORLDWAR2] Armon Kalashian | Hello, I am looking for what happened to my uncle during WWII.

Yes, I saw that already. John was my father and Rueben was my uncle. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Delilah" <diamond6468@mindspring.com> To: <worldwar2@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 1:04 PM Subject: Re: [WORLDWAR2] Armon Kalashian > would you know his date of birth - I found 7 listed on NARA > Sarkis > Paul A > John B > Aharon > Seth > Reuben > > None of them had the SN you gave and I think three were listed as being > from > Fresnobut only one enlisted in 1943 and he was born in 1908 - the other > were > from MAssachusetts.and one from Rhode Island. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "R&S Collins" <rdcsjc@netptc.net> > To: <WORLDWAR2@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 1:48 PM > Subject: [WORLDWAR2] Armon Kalashian > > > | Hello, I am looking for what happened to my uncle during WWII.

I found him on the WW2 Memorial - but where did you get the date he died - also it has a link to their home page, why not link to that and write them and ash for any info on him. ----- Original Message ----- From: "R&S Collins" <rdcsjc@netptc.net> To: <worldwar2@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 4:30 PM Subject: Re: [WORLDWAR2] Armon Kalashian | Yes, I saw that already.
