Our file cards are not official military, so at the time the cards were done in the summer of 1945, while the 36th was in occupation duty, your father was thought to have been killed https://36th-id.frb.io/infantry/johnfconnelly
He was taken off Company B book on September 16, 1943. You can find the After Action reports for the 143rd on our website: https://texasmilitaryforcesmuseum.org/after-action-reports-wwii/
