"The Veterans Administration has reported discovering 10 million
duplicates of 20th Century Military Records. These records were thought
to have been destroyed in a 1973 fire which wiped out most Army records
from 1912 to 1960 and most Air Force records from 1947 to 1964. If you
need records that you were told were burned, you may contact: Veterans
Personnel Records, GSA, St. Louis, MO 63132.
