Thanks Iris, A wonderful resource indeed! The Price of our Heritage biographies & photos can also be found here. Presented a bit differently, the biographies are grouped by battle or war event: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ia/military/heritage.htm Sharyl Ferrall http://iagenweb.org ----- Original Message ----- From: Iris Kisch To: IOWA-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2004 12:06 PM Subject: [IOWA] Photos and brief bios of WW1 Vets from Iowa - Excellent reference source Iowa Researchers interested in finding additiona information on their ancestors who may have fought and died in World War 1 can access an incredible data base, complete with photos and brief bio on ancestors who fought and died in WW1 at the following link: http://www.accessgenealogy.com/iowa/heritage/county/index2.htm Although I could not locate an ancestor in this database, I am sure others might - so have fun and above all, Good Luck to all searchers.

I have to join this discussion thread. I have our "family copy" of the book, THE PRICE OF OUR HERITAGE, authored by Winfred E. Robb. My Grandfather and his brother were Iowa volunteers.....and the brother I mention here died in France, WWI. This book is one of my most prize possessions....as the inside cover says...."In Memory of the Heroic Dead of 168th Infantry." My great uncle, Albert Ewin, is pictured in the book and he is buried in France. The entire book and the photos is featured online. Hats off to the transcriber volunteers who have made this possible. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ia/military/heritage.htm The book is laid out by battle and the fallen....also gives lots of good history....from the History of the Old Third Iowa.....gives all the stops along the way before reaching Europe...then the history and the battles ...and at the end, the last chapter is Homeward Bound. Quite the journal of those times and their participation in WWI.
