I hear ya ! My grandfather was in Japan/Philippines during WWII I wish I’d paid better attention to where he said he was in the Philippines. If I had I’d have tried to find the places , but like so many other things it’s lost now .

My father and several uncles served in WWII. One uncle never made it home; Isaac Warren Woods is buried in the Philippines.
