Bob Checked and found the person I was looking for, had served in World
War 1. My family members were in Boston, Cambridge and Somerville at that
time.

My grandfather's brother was in the Marines in WWII and when I talked to
him he never said what he did but he mentioned two Medal of Honor winners
in his regiment and I knew of them and through that information knew his
unit.

Military records usually contain some good genealogical information.

thanks, Charles
