The most destructive and far-ranging war in human history, World War II claimed the lives of countless millions.

Additionally, place of induction into the service is provided along with a list of awards presented by the military. Containing the names of nearly 160,000 men, this can be a helpful tool in finding ancestors who fought in either World War II or the Korean Conflict.
