Sorry, should have said "spent parts of two years in various hospitals in France and the U.S."

Records are available from

National Personnel Records Center
Military Personnel Records
9700 Page Avenue
St. Louis, MO 63132

There was a fire in 1973 which destroyed lots of records there, but much information remains.

I guess I can also give this information from the National Personnel Records Center:

They gave me a link

and a phone number (314) 810-0800

I used these links back in 2009 - don't know if they still work.
