Well as of this week, I have begun sorting through the 2000 or more pages of NARA docs that I acquired. A very important step at this point in time since I am actually writing the book now. I am sorting all the docs into folders my month and year, and where applicable, into the separate battalions. In my case the 1st, which later became the 2832nd, and the 2nd, which later became the 2883rd.

 

This will make accessing the data much easier. Then if I need something I will know right where to go. If I try and do a bit each day or week, the job won't be as cumbersome as it sounds. As I am sorting, I am quickly perusing each sheet for recognizable names, and making notes on a pad for quick reference.

 

I need to find the sheet that listed my dad's hospitalization, so I can contact NARA and get the morning reports for that time period. After I receive these, then I can apply for his Purple Heart.
