ARMY Compiles List of Dead and Missing By Counties
The first consolidated listing of Army dead and missing in World War II—a compilation of the names of nearly 310,000 men and women who gave their lives in the Nation’s service—was released today by the War Department.
The list was made up of fifty booklets, one for each state, one for the District of Columbia, and one for the Territories and Possessions of the United States. Each booklet contained a foreword explanatory of the methods of listing, a breakdown by counties and types of casualty, and an alphabetical listing by county of the name, serial number and grade of each individual and the manner in which he met his death. The Philippines Commonwealth was not included in the study.
For Iowa, 3,282 were killed in action, 481 died of wounds, 19 died of injuries, 1,427 were non-battle deaths, 399 were sentenced to death under public law, 25 were missing—for a total of 5,633.
The Henry County List includes 39 names. The army list obviously does not include the navy casualties. Those listed from Henry County:
