Shelley,
Good thought, but to claim spousal allowance from the military she would have had to present the marriage record. My mom had to do that when my dad entered The U.S. Army at the start of WW11.
I recall her story clearly because my mom said she thought the Army would give the marriage license back to her, but they kept it!
Best regards,
Sherri Bobish
