WW2 Era Draft Letter Informing Man He is to be Inducted Into The Armed Forces.

[Heartfeltzero]

This letter was sent to a William Beverly Mills. He was born on August 11th 1921. The letter was sent on June 2nd 1943. It was ordering him to report to a specific address on June 16th 1943 for Induction.

He would do so and be Enlisted into the Army on June 16th 1943. I haven’t been able to find any information on what specific unit he served with, but I know he did serve overseas.

The second document is an Award of Disability Compensation. It states that he William was discharged from the military on February 10th 1946 and is awarded $11.50 a month as compensation for his wartime wounds which is listed as “Frozen Feet”. So it’s very possible he served somewhere like Belgium, possibly during the Battle of the bulge.

See from Findagrave that he passed on 15 June 2001 (aged 79) in Baltimore, Maryland. Rest in Peace.
