After watching The Pacific over the past weeks I was reminded of something I've wanted to do for quite some time, track down my Grandfathers military service. Even if it is just the unit he served in as I could find the battles etc fairly easily from that.

I know he was in Europe during WWII but that's about it as he didn't talk much about it (for obvious reasons). Has anyone ever tried to do this? Where should I start? The Legion? Contact the Forces?

Thanks.
