      Ms. Cramer:

      You have a difficult task ahead of you. There is a chapter in in the records regarding the Battle of Lone Tree Hill that you should read first. Without his DD-214, you may have a difficult time. The military history institute might have some resources as well. Virtually everything that we have is up on the website. Usually we only find things out a specific individual when someone like you doing research shares it with us. Good luck in your search.

      Ms Cramer,
      I don’t know if you subscribe to Fold3, but I did look and did not find anything about his death. The only things listed are his enlistment information, casualty list, and his burial location in the American Battle Monuments Commission.

      Ms Cramer;
      I have a copy of the morning report for June 22, 1944 listing a Pfc Stone, no first name listed, S/N 35124048 as KIA along with 10 other enlisted men and 1 officer at Rocky PointDutch New Guinea. If the site administrator will share my contact information with you then you can contact me directly and I can email you a copy of the report.

      Mr. Hyde,

      Thank you for your question. We do not have specific information about individual soldiers unless a family member shared that information. What we do have is quite a bit of general and specific information about units and troop movements during the war, as well as some insight to share for persons, such as yourself, to research and find the information you seek. The best way to do this is to obtain your father’s discharge papers. Next of kin are entitled to those papers. Organizations like ours, are not unless previously shared by a family member. That document will provide his specific unit of service down to the Company level, as well as dates of service and any awards. Here is where to make such a request.https://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/standard-form-180.html

      From there, you can determine where his regiment and company were during the war and what his experiences may have entailed. Sometimes there are either morning reports or after action reports that can tell you more. We do have some of those, depending on the unit. For detailed and specific information about your father, I recommend that you consider a military history research specialist from Golden Arrow Research.https://www.goldenarrowresearch.com. Good luck in your research and please share what you discover in the future.

      Again, thanks for your contact and question.
