His level of detail is about the same as what I have for my own great grandfather, so it's heartening when I see others in a similar situation come closer to breaking down those walls.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JohnJohn Pattenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523891874065880796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889101067611379117.post-19144460268005021742009-08-26T13:18:56.920-07:002009-08-26T13:18:56.920-07:00Thanks for telling me that "disclid" is ...Thanks for telling me that "disclid" is actually "Dischd" - discharged makes much more sense.<br /><br />Thanks for the suggestion about checking out FamilySearch for his death information.

And I add my voice to those encouraging you to apply to the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis for his service record. You can get the form you need from that website.<br /><br />I also think that "G.J.E. Artry" means he was in an artillery unit.
