Josh B. Posted December 10, 2021 Share #2 Posted December 10, 2021 What unit was he in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottplen Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted December 10, 2021 He is listed as just army on memorial but i found online he was listed as army air corps ? So no solid answer yet ? as a side note the numbers on the purple are in the number range of the few other Dorchester PHs shown on the forum. is there any records or rosters of the units on the Dorchester? I always assume some were going to Greenland to build and airbase and some were being sent to England ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
