Simon Lerenfort Posted February 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 4, 2020 Trying to find out some information for a local museum exhibit, a tag belonging to a Pvt Elmer C Lawrence, ASN: 12165095. I've only managed to find his enlistment records, he was New Jersey, born 1924 and at some point came across the Atlantic. He appears to be a Private in the Air Corps but that is as far as I can get. Please can anyone else expand on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznation Posted February 4, 2020 Share #2 Posted February 4, 2020 Here's what I was able to find. Seems to be a match on the date of birth as well as date of enlistment (that being 2 Nov 42) between the enlistment record and National Guard Register. I found his WWII Draft card but for some reason it won't let me pull it up without a "Premium Subscription". Normally, I can get into all this free with my metropolitan library account but something is not letting me. Maybe someone with a paid subscription can pull it up and share it here. Also, I can't seem to find when he died or where he's buried and I couldn't seem to find any newspaper articles about his service. Anyway, hope this helps.

Simon Lerenfort Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted February 4, 2020 Thank you. You have been most kind. I too could find no trace of his passing, nor mention of him anywhere else. If someone can manage to open his draft card that would be very useful. Thanks again. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Lerenfort Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted February 5, 2020 That is very interesting RAM957, thank you. I will have a search to see if this might be him and his wife (GI bride it might appear to be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
