My uncle serviced in the Marine Corps as a Pharmacist Mate from 1919-1941. I have tried to locate his records, but have not been successful. His last address: 1966 Jacksonville, FL. His name: Edward F. Bowman. I would appreciate any information.
I did not have a street number , just the city. The year was 1966. Thanks
Hi Mary – I think I located him. Could you please email me at webmaster@ablecompany24.com?
Thank you!
Geoffrey
