This exhibit has been coordinated with Richard Pax, Clinton County Expert on Veterans. |
|
(1) Names as reported in the 1940's. Biggest concern is the similiarity in the names, same person could be on here twice. Includes some residents of |
neighboring counties. |
(2) Service they joined. Biggest concern is that often one source reported one service and another source reported a different source. Possible abbreviations |
used might be: A=Army; AR = Army Reserve; AAC = Army Air Corps; AC = Air Corps; CG = Coast Guard; M = Marines; MM = Merchant Marines; |
N = Navy; NAC = Naval Air Corps; NR = Naval Reserve; R = Reserves; W = WAACS. |
(3) Town where they received their mail. If no information was found except for a church record, the town reported is the church's town. |
(4) Date they left for the service. Starts in early 1941 after Germany invaded Europe. |
(5) Age when they entered the service. |
(6) Occupation before they went into the service. |
(7) Other comments found in any of the sources. |
(8) Church reported members. Biggest concern again is the similiarity in names and the possible reporting by two churches if his family moved between the |
the time he joined and the time the church newspaper was published after the war. |
(9) Sources - |
(a) C - Listing of "Carlyle Veterans of World War II" from Carlyle 1809 – 1956 Clinton County Annals, copy in Carlyle and St. Louis County libraries. |
(b) Ch - Church - "The Messenger", Belleville Catholic Diocese newspaper, Jan 30, Aug 11, Aug 18, Sep 8, 1944. Listing of Catholic men and women who served |
in the World Wars I and II armed forces from Clinton County churches. Copy in Belleville Library's verticle file. |
(c) Ch - Church - "List of Members Who Served in the Armed Forces", Trinity Lutheran Church and School Booklet, Pages 80-81 |
(d) M - Brochure "Clinton County Veterans Day Celebration Program" 11 Nov 1996, gives names of war dead engraved on memorial. |
(e) M - Same names of those who died during war years listed in CCHS Quarterly # 20-4, Oct - Dec 1997. |
Photos and obits of Carlyle war dead in CCHS Quarterly 22-4, Oct-Dec 1999. CCHS working on remainder of county Jan 2000. |
(f) N - (N)ote File Cards, now at Clinton County Historical Society, "Case-Halsted Public Library - Statistical Information Department - Clinton County Young |
Men in Service - Second WW" 4" x 5" cards. These cards could possibly have been prepared when the Carlyle "n"ewspaper stated that a person. |
left for the service. Thanks to the unknown person that created such a treasure. Probably excludes many people from the outer area of the county. |
(g) R - Internet: http://www.nara.gov/nara/searchnail.html then "Search NAIL" then "Clinton County and Illinois". Abbreviations: DNB = died from non battle |
injuries, DOW = died of wounds; KIA = killed in action. Town shown is home of residence at enlistment time according to NARA.. |
(h) R - Same NARA (r)ecords found in a printed brochure in the Belleville Public Library's "Illinois - World War, 1939-1945" vertical file. Article in "World |
War II Honor List of Dead and Missing", State of Illinois, War Dept., June 1946 |
