The following list was created in the memory of the brave men and women from " Carroll County, New Hampshire "
that
" Gave Their All "for their State and Country during World War II.
Soldiers, Sailors and Merchant Mariners, are all included on this listing.
Carroll County had a total of:
" 39 "
Soldiers, Sailors & Merchant Mariners who "Gave Their All" during World War II
( I'm 99.9% sure all from Belknap County are included )
There are personal " Online Memorials " for each of these honored men and women that were created for them by using the " Find A Grave " website. You will see a blue " Yes " behind their names below and by clicking on the " Yes " you can see the memorial that either I or someone else has created for them.
On " Many " of the online memorials you will see a small biography for each one which may include :
Parent's, Grandparent's & Sibling's Names,
where & when they were born,
where they grew up,
when & where they enlisted in the service,
the military unit they were part of, .... AND
where and how they actually died during the war !If you see one without a biography, picture, or you have more information on them please send me an Email at russpickde@comcast.net - ( or by clicking here )
I'll update their records as quickly as possible .....
On some of the records you will note that the "Cemetery/Memorial" column shows "unknown". If you know where any of these men or women are interred please let me know by sending me an "email - (by clicking here)" and I'll insure that the information is noted for their record.
Also Please Note:
Whether a soldier or sailor was " Killed In Action ", " Missing In Action ",
" Died of Wounds ", or even died in the " Line Of Duty " ......
They are all " HEROES " in my book and deserve all the recognition they can get !!
