The St. Louis Records Center military personnel records has been reconstructing those lost by looking at individual unit records held at the Archives in DC and College Park though CP records are not complete. Tried to f I d my father-in-law’s unit records by unit and only found one personnel roster for Saipan and he wasn’t on it despite it’s famed combat record at Saipan, Tinian, Eniwetok, Kwajelein, and Iwo.
I was talking about 65,000 military records in the other part of the Fed. Records Center in St. Louis. At one time, they only had five staffers for the whole place - really fine, conscientious professionals.
We got DOD components to start a total review of them for both historical and litigation purposes, as well as for Permanent preservation status.
