My mother was my last source of info, lost her in 2014 but she had limited info on my father’s side. My father died in 1985 at 62, I was 29..my interest didn’t peak until about 10-15 years ago on geneology and any WWII-CBI info I can find on my father. I have some info on the WWII stuff but would love to ask my father a ton of questions..

"...and any WWII-CBI info I can find on my father."

One of my uncles was in the Army in WWII and was in the China, Burma, India theater. I've had no luck getting any info about his service as St. Louis, Missouri personnel center says his records were destroyed in the big fire there in 1973. The only info I was able to get was from the VA, and it wasn't much. He was with the 857th Ordnance Heavy Automotive Maintenance. My other uncle was in the 787th Engineer Petroleum Distribution Company.
