Hello, Maybe some of you are more educated than me on this. I have attached my great uncle's WWII DD214 to this post. With all of the information here, I have not been able to find ANY information on his Unit or "Organization" from box 6. It has his organization (box 6) simply listed as "Unit 4 DET A DEP SUP SQ" however no one has been able to tell me what exactly this means or what his actual unit was. I've contacted St. Lewis who could not help me, also Carlisle, PA army heritage center who said they were not sure what it meant either. I've been to the local VA office who can't help either because I am not the next of kin. He had no children or wife, and nothing of his remains in the family. He is listed as a CPL but I don't have any other document or record other than this. His headstone says "CPL" too, but upon calling the funeral home I was still left with no info. If any of you understand or happen to know where to find Unit info for the Army Air Force, in particular whatever "Unit 4 DET A DEP SUP SQ" is it would be very helpful. Thank you.
I'm sorry I cannot help but have you registered and/or visited our American sister site at ww2f ? I am sure they will offer advice. http://www.ww2f.com/ Lesley
