Knox during World War II

WWII Honor Roll

We are trying to create a list of men and women who served in World War II. If you know someone who served, please add their name to the list. If you know more about any of them, if would be a fitting tribute to them if you would also create a biography of them. Until then, the only thing we can share with viewers of this page is their name.

Honor Roll

Most of the following list of men and women from Knox who served in World War II was taken from the Honor Roll. We need someone to help us identify these people by adding their first name.

Biography

We would like to start a biography for each of these people with the basic data about their military service and anything else you care to add under one or more of the following categories as appropriate:

• Photo
• Birth (date, place, parents)
• Education
• Military Service
• Marriage and Children
• Occupation
• Death (date and burial)
• Other Media (newspaper articles, service papers, obituary, etc.)
• Gallery (photos)
