Description
"In this fully revised edition of Finding Your Father's War, Jonathan Gawne has written an easily accessible handbook for anyone seeking greater knowledge of their relative's experience during World War II. Jonathan explains and shares techniques he uses to research archives, libraries, veteran associations, and myriad other sources of information to track down wartime careers. Detailed appendices also give a wealth of useful information including insignia of ranks and branches; common MOSs; a breakdown of each division by sub unit; a capsule history of each campaign; and a bibliography of useful books. With over 470 photos, charts, and an engaging narrative, this book is an invaluable tool for understanding our 'citizen soldiers,' who once rose as a generation to fight the greatest war in American history" -- Back cover.
