As I wrote in another post, I have a dog-tag found in Pietramala (Florence), which I have not been able to find information.
But your team is really great, maybe you can help me out!
I found only the record of NARA http://aad.archives.gov/aad/record-detail.jsp?dt=893&mtch=1&cat=all&tf=F&q=alek+g+pytel&bc=&rpp=10&pg=1&rid=312855
Any help is more than welcome, although I realize that this is a pretty desperate research! 
I thought it might help if we posted his full name and serial number too.

Late TV Tryst with Neighbor Not Infidelity
New Have, Conn, Han 2.
A married woman can sit in the dark with a man not her husband and watch the late, late television show without doing anything wrong.
Judge John Troland made that ruling in refusing the divorce petition of Arthur R Randall, Jr, 30.
Randall accused his wife, Marilyn, 25, of infidelity on the ground she sat on a couch with her next door neighbor and watched the late, late show.
Two private detectives testified they watched the apartment where Mrs. Randall lives with her two small children last June 21 and saw her go next door to the aprtment of Cap Alex (Alek) Pytel, an Amry instructor at Yale University.
The detectives said the lights went out before midnight and did not go on again until 1:50am. Expecting to find evidence for a divorce case, the detectives climbed a fire escape and peeked in Pytel's window.
They said they found Mrs Randall and Pytel sitting side by side on a couch watching television.

Add: finally a sensible date of birth, 1889 seemed a bit unlikely, but the NARA said so ...

Died in LA, so still digging. So he's not a war casulty, but I'm sure his family, if he has one would LOVE to have that tag back.
Still searching for an obit, which would HELP IMMENSELY!
