Corruption of U.S. WWII Enlistment Records

CT150

Volunteers attached FamilySearch WWII Enlistment Records to soldiers, starting in 2024. Since then, some soldier records have been corrupted so they no longer show the first line, in which the soldier name was identified.

Example of correct record:

Example of corrupted record:

Same record at NARA:

We do not know if the corruption is expanding, but we are fearful it could impact hundreds or thousands of WWII enlistments.

Help!

@CT150 When I review the enlistment records I do see a difference however the name is still located at the top of the record.

None of the information appears to be missing. If this is not so please continue this discussion so I can take it to the correct engineers.
