Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
If you have not already, we suggest that you request a copy of his military service personnel files. Military service personnel files for members of the Philippines Scouts are located at NARA's National Personnel Records Center (NRPC), (Military Personnel Records), 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO 63138-1002. To request a copy of these records, please mail a completed GSA Standard Form 180 to NPRC. Please provide the veteran’s name, date of birth, rank, branch of service, service number, and dates of service.
Due to the coronavirus public health emergency, the National Personnel Records Center is servicing only urgent requests related to homeless veterans, medical emergencies, and funerals which may be faxed to 314-801-0764. We thank you for your patience and look forward to resuming normal operations when the public health emergency has ended.
Some additional information that you are seeking may be contained in his Individual Deceased Personnel File (IDPF). For the IDPFs from 1940-1976 of personnel with surnames that begin with M-Z, 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.
The Philippine Archives Collection in the Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1917- (Records Group 407) contains the United States Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) records for 1941-1942. Please review the series listed. Then contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov for more information.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT2. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
