Need some military information or how to get it.
I have a grandfather who served in the Korean War.I know he spent alot of time in Germany. I have a couple pictures of him with his uniform on. One I was told was a MP uniform back then. If I can recall it says MP on it.
I want to find out more information about him. IF he had any badges, what his rank and stuff was in the war. And whatever else there might be.
He never talked about the war when I was growing up and my father says he never did because he had lost a brother there. I would like to find out about this brother too. All I have is one picture of this brother, his name and that he died in his foxhole at war.
My grandfather's name was Reginald D. Compton. But he went by Rick, Richard or even Richie. I did find some information on him under Ancestry.com where he was listed as a Reginald R. Compton. He was born on Nov. 8, 1931 and died Feb. of 1994. He was living in Kentucky when he went into the Army. And believe that was where he was when he retired from the Army. If it wasn't he would been in Ohio.
His brother was Oarl Compton. I have no dates. I do know he would been in Kentucky when he inlisted.
Thanks for any help or if you know a site I can go to myself, I thank you for that as well.
