World War II Calhoun County Gold Star Honor Roll 

 

The following are the names of 320 young men and one young woman who died while in the service of their country. This Honor Roll was published by the Battle Creek Enquirer and News May 30, 1946 and included pictures of all but two whose pictures were unobtainable. It contains the names of all known dead who lived in Calhoun County at the time they entered service. At the end of the list of known dead are also included the names of two who were still listed as missing in action at the time of publication. The Honor Roll was compiled from the casualty records kept by the Enquirer and News throughout the war. It is with a deep debt of gratitude to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice that we provide their names for those who may be seeking them out.

Our thanks to Calhoun County Genealogical Society Carlene DeMaso who painstakingly transcribed these names from the original article.
