I've been thinking about researching my grandfather's WW2 service record for a while. All I know is he was a guard for a flame thrower in the Pacific. Was hoping folks on here could help me get started because I'm a complete novice about anything military-related.
1) What information would I need to get started?
2) What are the odds that any documents are still around?
3) Will I be able to do anything other than just trace his unit's movements?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
