Seeking unit and KIA information for Harry James Moyles

Hi Patrick, I found the name Harry J Moyles (ASN 01321653) on the list of Michigan (Wayne Co) casualties for WWII. There is also a historical marker for Camp Bouse, AZ listing those who died in WWII. Harry J Moyles is listed for the 526th Armored Infantry Battalion, HQ company.  Hope this is of help.  joan

Hi Patrick, in addition, I found several references to cemetery 1240 as the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery located in Belgium; this seems to have initially been a temporary cemetery for many who died at the Battle of the Bulge. (https://www.med-dept.com/articles/american-wwii-military-cemeteries-memorials/).  There is a little more information on the website for the 7th Armored Division (https://www.7tharmddiv.org/eto-unks.htm).  joan

Here is an article from Warfare History Network, that may be of interest to you, if you're seeking to learn more about his temporary interment in Belgium.

The Quartermaster Records may be able to aide your search for more records and information.

     Also, (if you haven't yet) I definitely recommend checking out his FindAGrave memorial page. In terms of FAG pages, there is quite a bit of information to be gleaned from it. Whomever created his page has done a good job of adding info! Hope these suggestions help you in your search!

Dear Mr. Mucha,

Thank you for posting on History Hub!

The information you seek may be contained in his Individual Deceased Personnel File or IDPF. For WWII-1976, the National Archives at St. Louis (RL-SL) currently has custody  of the Army IDPFs for men with surnames A-L. They have not yet received the IDPFs of veterans with surnames M-Z. In order to request those records please write to U.S. Army Human Resources Command, Casualty & Memorial Affairs Operations Division, ATTN: AHRC-PDC, 1600 Spearhead Division Avenue, Department 450, Fort Knox, KY 40122-5405.

We also conducted a search on NARA’s Access to Archival Databases and located a Harry J Moyles from Detroit, MI in the enlistment records.

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck on your research!
