Ralph's Separation & Discharge

There were no more letters after October 18th. We can assume that the plans Ralph wrote about were what transpired.

I have no record of when he finally arrived home to see his mother & father, as well as his siblings, their spouses, and his nieces and nephews.

However, I do have copies of his separation and discharge papers that tell us when and where he ended his time in military service....Fort Knox KY on 13 Nov 45, almost a full month after boarding a ship in France.

Note: Look carefully on his discharge paper and you will see the date he arrived in the States was Nov. 7th. The Pay Data section is also interesting.

The next post will be on October 24th.
