I have very little on the 737th - does anyone know more about this unit ?Scott writes ...
My father served in the army in WW2, as a medic, stationed in the Philippines. He died in 1970 when I was very young, and we don't know much about his military service. I requested his records from the government and was told a fire destroyed those records sometime in the early 1970's.
I did find a copy of his "Record of burial place of a veteran", and it lists his dates of service and organization. The dates of service were 3-15-44 through 4-14-46, and the organization is 737 RR Bn.
I cannot find any record of a 737th Railroad Battalion. Do you have any idea what 737 RR Bn would mean?
