This file is probably full of errors but maybe it will give you a clue if you're researching World War II. This information was taken from a digital image found at the NAIL site. The print on the image was so small that these tired eyes could hardly make out any of the information. I printed the image, then took that page to the library and enlarged it in order to try to read the information. I'm afraid that it didn't help much. There are 4 columns of information for each individual on the original. The first column gives the name. The second column contained what I assume is the military serial number, but the numbers were so blurred that I did not attempt to list them. The third column gave the rank of the individual. There was only a couple of these that I was not sure of. The fourth column gave the individuals status. The ONLY status that I can say for sure has been transcribed correctly is KIA. Some of the problems I encountered were: C, D, O, B, E, P all looked the same. Other problems were A, M, N, W, H, etc.
I think I can safely say that all of the full names are correct. Any problems will be with the initials. If you can offer any corrections, please let me know.
