Whittle knows where Hunter is buried, because he buried him there when Hunter died in April 1991 at age 75. The marker is a generic small stone that simply indicates that the person buried there served in World War II. He wants the VA to provide Hunter with the standard military headstone to which Whittle believes his uncle is entitled. That record would have been kept at the U.S. military’s National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. The records Whittle has been able to obtain don’t say how long Hunter was overseas before he was discharged in October 1945.
