Arthur J. Iacofano WWII Public NARA Follow-Up - 27 April 2026
Scope
This follow-up continues HIR-20260423-025 after the 26 April public NARA
Company B/Fort Bliss/Muroc/replacement sweep. It used public NARA Catalog API
and extracted-text endpoints for exact serial number 35066128, Arthur name
variants, and the 90th Infantry/Camp Carson transition visible in the earlier
Camp Haan and replacement evidence.
Repository guardrails followed:
- New source and event records were created as
status: proposed. - No
01_people/record was updated from proposed military evidence. - Public TIFF objects were converted into small upright PDF extracts and
ingested through
scripts/ingest_record.py/scripts/media_library.py. - The new facts are treated as source-backed military chronology, not as canonical person-record updates.

Interpretation
The 4 May 1944 Camp Haan transfer order is medium-confidence for Arthur by
itself because the name line is faint, although serial number 35066128 is
visible. The 10 May 1944 Camp Carson Special Orders page is high-confidence:
it names Iacofano, Aruthur J., serial 35066128, grade Pvt, under Company
H. The July 1944 Company H pages then provide Camp Carson continuity before the
later replacement and Company B/175th Infantry evidence.
The 17 July 1944 Company H correction should be read carefully. It corrects an earlier furlough-to-AWOL style entry to a furlough-to-duty entry, two days late, with the furlough extended two days per VOCO. It should not be treated as a final misconduct finding without OMPF, Form 102, or fuller Morning Report continuity.
HIR Status
This pass moves the public NARA unit-roster/Morning Report lane forward, but it
does not close HIR-20260423-025. The highest-value remaining records still
require human, account, staff, or archive action:
- WWII Selective Service Form 1/Form 102.
- WD AGO/discharge paper, family-held or county-recorded.
- OMPF or fire-reconstructed file.
- SGO hospital-admission card.
- Full Company B/175th and post-drop Morning Report continuity.
- Indiantown Gap separation-center context.
- 29th Division Association, VA/BIRLS, and signed-in/local newspaper lanes.
No canonical person record was updated from these proposed military sources.
