Pfc Cromwell was transferred to Co F, 508th PIR from the 6900th Reinforcement Depot on 3 June 1945.

He re-enlisted on 10 November 1945  and was sent on TDY with the 6903rd Reinforcement Battalion,  Le Havre, France on that same day.  This probably meant he had re-enlistment bonus of a trip home ad the timing is right fiord his return to his wife and children in December, as mentioned in the article at left.
