Al how old was he and what was reason for


Al was probably beginning to be unhappy with his job before Pearl Harbor so maybe enlisted soon after the war started. Peggy was probably in High school and Rob in grade school. Peggy had become home front nurse of the in about 43-44 or 44-early 45.
How old were Al’s children in 1940 or 1941? Had Al served in WWI or been in the State Guard in the interwar years while? Did he become a Tech Sgt or Sgt 1st Classdue time in service or combination of his bank experience & started as a Corporal in the Army?
