DNB=died non-battle Your Uncle is listed like the above. After searching for 20 years for information on my Uncle who was also killed in WW 2 and getting nothing but "his records burned". I came across the form _http://www.geocities.com/lks_friday/HAMILTON-005.htm_ (http://www.geocities.com/lks_friday/HAMILTON-005.htm) I filled it out and mailed it in. In about 3 weeks I got not only his casualty report, but several letters my grandmother had written to the war department. It is free, so give it a try. Jane (Near Fresno)
