Hi Marion!
Thanks for the advice. I don't have Earl's dicharge papers or any other paperwork relating to him, but I have seen an application for a military headstone. It contains some information regarding his time in the army. As I recall, it contained the following information:
Name: Brady, Earl Arnold
Enlistment Date: Oct 15 1941
Discharge Date: Feb 8 1946 (Honorable)
Service No. 34098045
State: South Carolina
Rank: PFC
Medals: EAME Ribbon (the word OVER was handwritten beside it, I'm not sure what this means), American Defense Medal and the Combat Inf. Bad.
Branch of Service/Company/Regiment/Division: Company B, 202nd Engineers Combat Bn, US Army.
As the above details appeared to have been verified and accepted, I can presume that the above information is correct.
I'm not sure whether it would still be necessary to obtain his discharge papers but I will try if necessary. As I am not in the US, I'm not sure where to obtain any documentation. I presume as he was from South Carolina it would be the Veterans Administration in that state I would have to contact?
I would love to hear from anybody who might help me know a little more about him.
Kind regards
Scott
