AndrewA74 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share #13 Posted August 17, 2007 Anyone think that this is him? Same city, same last name, same service. http://www.wwiimemorial.com/registry/searc...&tcount=185 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kklinejr Posted August 17, 2007 Share #14 Posted August 17, 2007 If the coat has any of his serial number in the laundry mark, you may be able to cross reference Dermot Hedrick with the National Archives Access page. The are 751 Hedricks in the WWII database, but only 1 Dermot C. Hedrick (although there is another Dermot Q. Hedrick) ASN #34303673. The needle in a haystack is always the challenge and fun for researchers. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get the name "Dermot" in the first place? DERMOT Q rose to Master Sgt, which doesn't jive with your photo. ALBANY — Mr. Dermot Quincy (DQ) Hedrick, 88, a longtime resident of Albany, died Sunday, September 18, 2005, at Alabaster Healthcare Center in Alabaster, Alabama. The funeral will be held at 1 PM Wednesday, September 21, 2005, at Kimbrell-Stern Funeral Home in Albany, GA. The Rev. Sinclair Lewis will officiate. Mr. Hedrick attended schools in Albany and nearby Leesburg, graduating from Leesburg HS in 1936. After graduation from South Georgia College in Douglas, and a year at Duke University in North Carolina, he joined the Air Force, was stationed locally at Turner Air Force Base, rising to the rank of Master Sergeant, and served as an aid-de-camp during World War II.
