If you know his birth date I will extend my last e-mail to include what
Ancestry.com has on his military history.

Subject: [INMIAMI] Oscar FIELDS WWI military record
I hope there is someone on this list that can help me locate some
information on my grandfather Oscar FIELDS. He was born and raised in
Macy, Miami
County. Parents are William and Hester FIELDS. I have some information
on them
but I am looking for more detailed information on Oscar FIELDS’ military
record. Family folklore has that he was the first volunteer from Miami
County to
sign up for the Army when war was declared for the Great War (WWI). He
may
have been a sergeant and may have spent some time serving in a training
camp
as an instructor in Ohio. Sorry that my knowledge is so sparse but I’m
hoping that someone in Miami County has kept track of the brave men who
served
from this county. I live in Texas so am not able to visit to search for
myself.
Thanks in advance!
