1955 UK Veteran

by drea3000

I have a vague description of a person who served, and would like to know more about how they served. Here is the info I know (but some of it may be slightly off):

  • EU / UK Veteran
  • Served around 1955 (possibly 1855)
  • Served for possibly 8 years
  • Passed away in 1989 (or 1889)
  • I believe they were American serving for the
    US

Does this info line up to any specific war or situation? I don’t have much knowledge on this type of history, and wasn’t able to find anything online that I thought was exactly spot on.

Thanks!
