My husband was assigned to Ft Harrison at the beginning of World War II. I think it was a
staging area for new recruits. There is a possibility he was sent over seas! Did you check
to see if any of his records are still available? My husband's records burned a few
years ago!

My thanks to all who wrote in regard to my question! I guess I can assume
my uncle was assigned to another Army base or he could have retired to
somewhere other than the Indy area.
Angela: I have looked and looked but cannot find the Redmond "with a
different middle initial" which you mentioned.
For those who might be interested I found the following in my notes for
James J. Redmond
11th Infantry - 5th Division
Indiana Home Station
Fort Benjamin Harrison
S.D. No. 11 E.D. No. 49-20
Jo
Indiana State Library
WWII Servicemen Database
Name
Date
Paper
Page Column Location
Remarks
Branch
Hometown
I know this is a different middle initial but thought I'd send it along in
case he fit into your family.

I know you are in Florida but wanted to let you know that the main location
of the Indianapolis Public Library near downtown has a business section that
has tons of local directories.

They are not in the 1943 nor 1945 directory.
