You could order service records.  Information here - https://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records  There was a fire that damaged some WWII records, so what they have may be limited.

There are various other records online, which may or may not give much detail about where they were. Some links here - https://www.militaryindexes.com/worldwartwo/index.html  You might also look into local newspapers where the person or their family lived, because sometimes there will be mentions about where they were during the war or if they were injured.

Unfortunately the request military records button wont let me go any further, maybe as I am not in the USA?

It looks like there is maintenance going on, so it will be unavailable until April 2.
