Those listed below appear in the 1946 War Department report of WWII Army dead for the parenthesized county, rather than the obvious home county.
- Air Force personnel are included.
- I have included these individuals in the Pottawattamie Area WWII Dead Roster despite no supporting evidence linking them to the Pottawattamie area.
- In italics are other lists where the individual incorrectly appears.
- Two anomalies from Audubon Co. are yet to be added.
