Hi David,
Ancestry has WW2 US Army enlistment records but it's a pay site. There are a lot of Deharts listed but you will have to decide.................
Good luck

Hiya,
We are trying to find some military records, basedo n postings during wars. We know that during the 1940's, Melvin Dehart was posted in the UK. However we don't know anything else. Is there anyway to find out which soldiers were posted where each time?
