Came across a list of Frederick County men who had died in World War II as of Nov 1944. Thought this might be of interest to some here. Please note: not all of these men died in combat. Checking Findagrave for names at random, I found some obituaries indicating causes of death ranging from stabbings, accidents as well as death in combat. Needless to say, this list is not complete and as the war did not end for another seven months in Europe (May 1945) and nine in the Pacific (Aug 1945), certainly others died during that time. I also assume it does not include Frederick County natives who moved out of county at some point unless a relative resident in Frederick Co may have been notified. The list seems to be in chronological order--the first man listed died in 1942, the last one I could find at Findagrave died in Oct 1944. I managed to copy/paste it from the newspaper which is why the names appear in capitals. Needless to say, anyone who can add additional names should do so in order to have a more complete list. Dorinda, Feel free to add to your Mid-Atlantic site if you like. Sam P.S. Does anyone know if it is still forbidden to attach jpgs or embed them in messages??? Seems to me it was prohibited years ago. Was going to embed the image, but wasn't sure if the message would go through. At any rate, here it is: Frederick MD Post, 11 Nov 1944, p. 3: "" Frederick County Honor Roll: Here are inscribed the Gold Star men of Frederick City and County--men who left their homes, their security, their future, to defend the Nation in her greatest War. The list is not complete for we have gone only part of the way on the road to Victory. More names will be added. May each one be a reminder of the ultimate cost of Peace. Let each of us join in the hope "that they have not died in vain."" R. JACOB STAMBAUGH—Buckingham School Lieut. J. ELLSWORTH BURALL—Myersville Pvt. G. F. FERRELL—Jefferson Pfc. FRANCIS L.
