I had an older cousin who was killed in action during WW2. I have been
unable to find a birth record for him in NYC for the year he was born,
probably due to a messed-up spelling.

Does anyone know if I could obtain his birth date, as well as date of
death and theatre of war? If so, how would one apply for this info? I
could not find anything on the VA homepage. And would the military
records also show location of birth?

Thanks.
