Corporal Hi Bloom: Honorable Discharge

Dublin Core

Title

Corporal Hi Bloom: Honorable Discharge

Description

On 8 January 1946, Hi was honorably discharged from the Army Air Corps.
He was inducted 5 September 1942 into Fort Macarthur, California, named after Arthur MacArthur, Douglas´dad.
In a typo, they spelled Hi´s address as "Burry" Avenue.
Not the most heavily decorated guy, he received the Good Conduct Medal, the World War II Victory Medal (always nice to have one of those) and a few others.
Looks like he mustered out with $106.
