The friendship that connected people in difficult army conditions sometimes lasts a lifetime. But it happens that fate scatters fellow soldiers not only in distant cities, but also in different countries. Finding lost friends in this case is not easy. However, there are ways to meet an army comrade, and you should not lose hope.
Instruction manual
1
If you remember the names and surnames of your colleagues, try to find them using social networking sites. The Internet is now even in the most remote areas, and computers in families are far from rare. Perhaps your friends are already registered on one of the sites, then you can easily find them there.
2
To search for colleagues in social networks to be more successful, filling out the questionnaire when registering on these sites, indicate your exact age, first name and surname that you had at the time of service. Enter information about the type of troops where you served and the number of your unit. Look for groups that help people who have served together meet. Such groups and associations exist in every social network.
3
If you still have the phone number of at least one colleague or his relatives, contact him. Perhaps he is in contact with another fellow soldier. So in the chain you can find all the lost friends.
4
If the search is in vain, and you can’t find colleagues in any way, contact the unit command with a request. Military archives have been stored for quite some time, and you will most likely be able to help and provide the necessary information. Even if your friend didn’t have a phone at the time of the service, his home address must be kept in a personal file. At the address you can write a letter or send a telegram, or even go to visit a colleague.
5
If archived data has not been saved, or if a colleague has changed his place of residence, there is a chance to find it using television and radio. Contact the programs searching for missing people. These programs go through popular channels; millions are watching and listening to them. There is a very high probability that your friend will find out that you are looking for him. Be sure to leave the contact phone number in the editorial office so that someone can contact you.
6
Notify as many people as possible that you are looking for co-workers. Oddly enough, word of mouth works very well. Maybe help will come from the side where you did not expect it at all, and you will meet your fellow soldiers.
