    Do you have a picture of him in his dress uniform, by any chance? Both had distinctive shoulder patches--and if he had a shoulder patch from one of the field armies, it would help narrow things down as well. Or if you have his ribbons, etc.

    Thank you for your response and invaluable information. Unfortunately, I do not have a photo (but will keep searching and asking Family members).

    What I do have is the following

    [his name]
    was a Private First Class, in the U.S. Army,
    Where he served from July 26, 1943  to  March 18, 1946 
    He received Infantry Basic Training and became a Duty Soldier III, then Handler and separated as a Salvage Technician.
    He served in the European and Asiatic-Pacific Theaters of Operations
    He separated from the Army at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas
