Pension application files – even disapproved ones – are often rich with genealogical information. You may find the soldier’s name, rank, military unit, period of service, residence, birthplace, date of birth, and age at enlistment.
I will take digital color photos of the entire file. Turn-around time for your request will average ten days. If a file cannot be found, I will report the sources I have searched.
