I am currently trying to find out where black GIs were stationed during WW 2 but have not come across good source since most of the individual service records have unfortunately been lost to fire. Does anybody know another source that records, preferably for each GI, where he was deployed? Any help would be appreciated.
Hello there! As your question is related to looking for identification/information regarding military personnel, our Guide on Military Identification may be of use to you.
