Note:
Service people listed above were numbered 1-20. The opposite page has pictures
of numbers 1-20. Transcriber is unable to scan and e-mail pictures at this
time. Many of the people listed had other info, such as where they enlisted,
what units and branch of service they were in, and where they served. Any
fields left blank above are because the information was not in the listing.
Transcriber is VERY human, and typographical errors are
always a possibility. The original source of information should always be
checked to confirm the information. Any known typos in the book are transcribed
as written. The book has NO page numbers and NO index.
