Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched Ancestry and located military information about Ellis Freeman Justice (or variations of) that may be of interest. We also located a website of the descendants of Native Americans near Ipswich, MA, and suggest that you review NARA’s web pages pertaining to Native Americans.
If you haven’t already, please request a copy of your grandfather’s Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). OMPFs and individual medical reports for those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces who were separated from the service prior to 1955 are in the custody of NARA's National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. In many cases where personnel records were destroyed in the 1973 fire, proof of service can be provided from other records such as morning reports, payrolls, and military orders, and a certificate of military service will be issued. Please complete a GSA Standard Form 180 and mail it to NARA's National Personnel Records Center, (Military Personnel Records), 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO 63138-1002.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
