USA, krigsdepartementet, nyheter och annan relevant information, 1942-1945
Den här samlingen består av nyheter och annan information upprättade av den amerikanska arméns informationsavdelning. Detta material skickades sedan till tidningar i USA för publicering. Här finns ofta berättelser om aktningsvärda bedrifter, men det mesta handlar om enskilda soldater eller speciella enheter.
Did your ancestor’s war story make the papers? This collection consists of press releases and other records created by the U.S. Army’s Ground Special Information Section and sent to newspapers for publication in the United States. Many tell stories of meritorious actions and most are about individual soldiers or sometimes specific units.
Details vary depending on the story, but you might find name, birthplace, age, rank and unit, family members, medal and citation details, and other items.
