LIVING HISTORY DISPLAY GROUP, INC.

RESEARCHING A

SPECIFIC VETERAN:

(or "how to find out about Uncle Harry")

One of the resources we have made available to the public is the ability to research a specific WWII 10th Mountain veteran. While this resource is available to anyone, some data is available only to the veteran or to family members (direct descendants). There is NO CHARGE for this request.

This information is helpful when attempting to authenticate photographs, uniforms or documents in an historical collection, or to verify authenticity of claims made by sellers on E-Bay and other sales sources. It can come in handy when researching family history or genealogy. This list includes information on more than 32,000 WWII veterans of the Division, but may not be complete or exhaustive. Neither we nor the Tenth Mountain Division Resource Center claim absolute accuracy of this data.

In an effort to streamline your request, they will be processed differently than in the past. Through a cooperative agreement with the Denver Public Library, the Tenth Mountain Division Foundation and this organization, your response will come from a team of researchers at DPL, who have access to some of the most complete unit records of any Division in the WWII time frame.

To request a veteran's history, please send an e-mail to us at this address:

DHagen@DenverLibrary.org

Please allow at least 1 week for a response. Responses from family members and more detailed requests may take longer.

To request research on a specific veteran, please provide as much of the following as you can:

· Name (First Name, Last Name, M.I.)

· Army Serial Number or Laundry Mark

· Your relationship to the veteran or reason for the request

Depending on the records available, the following may be available on most of these soldiers:

· Army Serial Number

· Date and Place of Enlistment

· Marital Status and Education at Time of Enlistment

· Occupation at Time of Enlistment

· Units & Bases Assigned

· Wounds in Combat & Date Wounded

· Medals Awarded and Citations

· Ski Qualification Scores (select units & dates)

· Membership in the National Association
