Second World War (WWII) Roll of Honor
423 Who Never Returned
Our World War II (WWII) Roll of Honor was established through the following research
- Memorial Wall at Lawrence County Courthouse
- National Archives listing of deaths from Lawrence County
- Souvenir program, Military Order of the Cootie Shenango Pup Tent No. 25
- Historical society’s website listings
- Soldiers confirmed as Beaver county residence are no longer listed here
- Names marked with an * do not appear on the Lawrence County World War II Memorial Wall
We do not have photos for many of our WWII Roll of Honor soldiers. Do you have one to contribute?
