Looking for Military Records for John Simon Szymczak (1894-1952)

[briankaess]

Hello,
Looking for Military Records for John Simon Szymczak (1894-1952), born in Rochester, New York, but moved to Chicago by 1910. I think he registered for the Draft in 1917-1918 in Chicago. He may have been Discharged in February 13 1919. Looking specifically for his unit, rank, etc.
    Much obliged,
                Brian Paul Kaess
