My wife's father's records were a part of those burned up in the fire. She has absolutely no idea of anything about his military service other than the following:
He was from Benton, Franklin County, Illinois b. 22 APR 1924 and d. 02 AUG 1977 in Lincoln, Logan County, Illinois.
Her served in the Pacific.
His last known duty assignment was at Camp Stoneman in California.
He supposedly worked on heavy equipment.
I realize that is not a whole lot to go on, but it is what she has.
I am willing to look through all of the rosters ever assigned to Camp Stoneman, if anyone can point me to where I might be able to find them, but it would seem to be, that due to the Camp Stoneman posting, and the fact that he worked on heavy equipment, he would likely have been attached to one of the Engineer organizations located there.
Thank you for any time, information or suggestions you might be able to provide.
Respectfully,
Bobb Craig, ETC, USN, Ret.
