US Army WW2

Post by **Blue70** » 21 Aug 2011 01:16

Half way through the weekend and I want to get to the library to get something. There's a record for a Richard McMullen born about 1913 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois amongst the US WW2 Army Enlistment Records 1938-1946. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Blue

Hi Blue
Someone with the full member in Ancestry will be able to help you.
There looks to be census & enlistment records and possibly his death.
All the best
Tina
