coolhandluke Posted September 2, 2014 Share #22 Posted September 2, 2014 Woah, how in the h@#$ did you find that man.?!?! I'm blown away, your the man of the hour my friend! I located it on the National Archives database using the search feature in the link below. Finding a match much easier when you actually have the veteran's last name. After typing "Coffin" in the search field, I browsed the results for serial numbers ending in 6662 which is the last 4 digits of the laundry number stamped on the liner webbing. http://aad.archives.gov/aad/ Congrats on the find...I know that I would love to have that piece in my collection.

Thanks again for taking the time man update on what i've found are just tid bits from here and there, In 1964 he was the master of the Masonic Lodge in Waltham Mass. I found the 1940's Census for him and his family in Waltham Mass, as well as his occupation in 1940 he was a Attendant at McLean Hospital in Belmont mass. I posted the link for the 1940's Census. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1971-27877-11462-12?cc=2000219 http://masonicgenealogy.com/MediaWiki/index.php?title=Waltham&redirect=no https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1971-27874-12310-92?cc=2000219 Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
