NOTE: 2/2002- I am in the process of transcribing this list (along with several other cool things in this book).  Be sure to check back often as I will update regularly.

If you find a name that you are interested in, send me an email and the reference number, and I will scan a copy of the picture and type up the text that goes with it.  There is a paragraph for each of these people.

Here is a sample (of a shorter one):

A18- Ray C Adams, 
Paonia, Private, Signal Corps, Students' Army Training Corp;
