About U.S., World War II and Korean Conflict Veterans Interred Overseas

The most destructive and far-ranging war in human history, World War II claimed the lives of countless millions. This database is a listing of American servicemen who fought in the Second World War or the Korean Conflict and were interred outside of the contiguous forty-eight states. Each entry provides the individual's name, rank, unit, death date, and location of interment (listed as monument). 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.

The records in this database were taken from RG330 in the National Archives.
