    Hi,
    I'm recently found my grandfathers discharge card from the war. Apart from the battalion and regiment number it doesn't give any information of his service.
    So far I've only found one piece of information on the 71st LAA stating that they were in the Netherlands in 1944.
    Would anyone happen to have anymore information about the 71st or have any ideas where I could find out anything else? I never knew my grand father as he died when my mother was young so I'd like to find out as much as possible about his service.

    Thanks
