1946 Navy Dept. Report

SW Iowa Towns

Below are two lists of WWII Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard dead with next of kin living in 19 Southwest Iowa counties.

These lists are excerpted from https://www.naval-history.net/WW2UScasStateIowa.htm, a searchable version of the Navy Department's 1946 Iowa casualty summary for Iowa.

This summary included the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard branches of service.
My Pottawattamie Area WWII Dead Roster includes almost all names with next of kin living in Harrison, Shelby, Pottawattamie, Cass, Mills and Montgomery counties. Audubon County names are being added.

Each state's publication consisted of several parts, the longest two being:

The dead in combat-related operations.
The wounded in combat-related operations.

https://www.naval-history.net/WW2UScasStateIowa.htm accesses the Navy Department's list of Iowa's 1,412 combat-related dead. The alphabetical records within this list include the decedent's name, rank, and service branch, followed by the next of kin's name and mailing address.

The Navy Department's summary report:

Excludes stateside deaths and in-theater non-combat-related deaths. See WWII Roster > Roster Outliers > Navy Dept. Omissions for a list of such individuals who are in the Pottawattamie Area WWII Dead Roster.)
Omits service numbers.
Lacks information such as death date or ship.
