I am not sure what routes you have taken already besides contacting NARA for their personnel records, but have you tried contacting his states' Veteran's Admin? That is how I finally received my father's discharge papers. NARA didn't have them, but his local VA did. However you will probably still run into a stumbling block there because you are NOT a relative.

 

Another avenue is to write to the local newspapers where he was from and ask them for anything on him from the time he enlisted through the end of the war. Most people forget they have that avenue at their disposal. Most papers have archives and they may be a source of info.

 

You may also try posting an ad in their local papers and see if any living relatives are still around town. Of course, someone may find this post or similar posts that you've inquired about on other forums.

 

Don't give up hope yet. I've had stuff posted on my site for years, and then all of a sudden one day I get an email and... You never know.
