Any change getting this gentlemens military service records or AGO its called I believe. I am of no relation to this gentlemen but am next of kin to two veterans.. Any ideas?

Nothing really valuable as if yet it seems just cool smalls to make the collection display better. A couple Hawaiian newspapers, navy magazines, a cool Hawaiian calendar and some other small souvenirs. I am unearthing stuff every day from my grandpas estate so more is bound to come up hopefully!

All period treasures. Agree that it would really accentuate a display

Can't help with obtaining records but you could try the NARA database for the basic enlistment info and maybe ancestry.com, but there is a fee for ancestry.com

That hawley and helmet ensemble is worth a tidy sum. It's in good condition. Hard to find like this.

Thanks for the help, would love to find this guys service record first though! Just no idea how to go about doing it.

I would think your best bet would be Ancestry. Not gty'ed however. They do have a short term fee schedule. Might be worth it.
