Ancestry.com comes through! Still no information on the grave location, but a helpful genealogist located a military enlistment record for my grandfather:
Walter M. Lewis, born 1912.
Enlisted in U.S. Army on August 18, 1943 in Pennsylvania.
Rank: Private.
Enlistment "for the duration of the War, or other emergency, plus six months, subject to the discretion of the President."
Education: one year of high school.
Civil occupation: machinist.
Marital status: separated with dependents.
So I've learned for the first time I have a family member who served in World War II. What happened to him while he was in the Army? Add to task list: locate any additional military records.
