"...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.

Same with mine as to the 1973 fire but they sent what they could..my father’s info: Sgt., Airplane Mechanic 747, 10/16/42 - 12/17/45 10th AF, 311thFG, 528th FS China-Burma-India, Asiatic-Pacific Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal and WWII Victory Medal.

Someone on a 10th Air Force forum site a few years back told me my father was pictured in a book, Days of Ching Pao..I bought 4 copies of it for my siblings and myself..

Not sure if link will work, pictures of my father in WWII
