Definition - Abbreviations |

Names as reported in the 1940's. Biggest concern is the
similarity in
the names, same person could be on here twice. Includes some residents
of neighboring counties. |
| Service (2) |
Service they joined. Biggest concern is that often one source reported
one service and another source reported a different service.
A = Army; AR = Army Reserve; AAC = Army Air Corps; AC = Air Corps;
CG = Coast Guard; M = Marines; MM = Merchant Marines; N = Navy; NAC =
Naval Air Corps; NR = Naval Reserve; R = Reserves; W = WAACS |

invaded Europe. |
| Age (5) |
Age when they entered the service. |

reported members. Biggest concern again is the similarity in names and
the possible reporting by two churches if his family moved between the
time he joined and the time the church newspaper was published after
the war. |

Other comments found in any of the sources. |
