Service record book of men and women of Washington County

One of the county-wide “yearbooks” published after the end of World War II was titled “Service record book of men and women of Washington County.” This book contains a roster of the known participants from the county who served in the war, along with a brief biographical sketch, and photograph of the soldier when available. However, as the authors of these publications acknowledge, not everyone was always included in these publications.
