Racinians who died in Service - World War I



As published in "Racine County in the World War: A History" by Walter L. Haight, Western Printing and Lithographing, (Racine: January, 1920), pages 435-464

The Racine County WIGenWeb project was happy to receive a donation of this book by a historical society in the Green Bay area. They were cleaning out and decided they did not need this book in their collection since it does not pertain to that area in Wisconsin. Instead of throwing it away, they found us online and generously donated the book. In the coming years, we will be transcribing the data herein. To start, we have transcribed the "Died in the Service" pages of the book and include them below.

These pages include photographs of the servicemen. If you need a scan of one of these servicemen, I'd be glad to email you a scan. Also, if you have any additional information you'd like to share about any of these servicemen, please E-mail us.
