The National Archive has records dating all the way back to the Revolutionary War. Those records list the pensions given to men who served in the war. Civil War records include the names and service records of men who died in specific war camps and full service records for men preserved by certain organizations.
You’ll likely want to look at records from other wars, including World War I and the Korean War. Research records from WWI list the names of men who served and how long they spent in the military as well as whether they qualified for a pension. With Korean and Vietnam War records, you can search for the names of specific individuals who served. Similar to enlistment records, they show the individual’s name and date of birth as well as when and where they joined. Many online databases also list any prisoners of war and casualties from those wars.
