Today I found the "official" discharge paperwork. On it was listed his unit information. Spent a year looking for that info....Some strange things on the discharge:
His decorations are listed as good conduct (ok....I give in,,,he was well behaved at times), American Theater ribbon, European African middle Eastern Theater campaign ribbon (thats a lot of territory for one small ribbon)Victory medal. (I dont recollect seeing that one)
For service school they list Communication School....I know he went to bridge school, but communication school...he was a yeller.
These are the strangest ones
ERC 19 May 25 may of 43
20 days lost under AW 107
and ASR score 48
AW107?
If he was in a combat area, his E.A.M.E. campaign ribbon should
have stars on it. never heard of the ERC or AW items ASR are
points aquiered while overseas. Mine came to 92, enough to
come home ahead of the Divn. Rocky
