Help with a WWII DD214

apis mellifera · 01-24-2012, 07:53 PM

From a similar DD214 I found online; fields are:
1. Component
2. Place of separation
3. Military Qualifications and date (i.e. infantry, aviation, and marksmanship badges, etc)
4. Destination
5. Total amount - Name of Disbursing Office

1. sorted
2. sorted.
3. The line is: Ex Rifle M-1 MM BAR
4. sorted
5. sorted (or close enough)

PS Ed: I found a Japanese Arisaka bayonet with my grandfather's (Garton) things. My dad said grandpa brought it back with him. It's in poor condition and I have no story at all so it's probably of little to no use for Vol. 3. Let me know if you're interested though.

All have been sorted but #3. We found a better copy of the DD214 at the courthouse which revealed the full line. The next question is: what does MM mean and is it related to BAR?
