​WWII Army and Army Air Force Dead with Service Credited to One of 19 Counties in Southwest Iowa
The following 19 county lists come from https://www.archives.gov/research/military/ww2/army-casualties/iowa.html, the 1946 US War Department report entitled WWII Honor List of Dead & Missing for Iowa. 
  • Corresponding to the map in the heading, I have organized county lists by tier, with the first tier of southwest Iowa counties at the bottom.
  • The 31-page report is organized by county lists and is not searchable.
