Suggest you go there and click on World War II...perhaps you will find the answer. I just came across this site yesterday, and thought it might help you. By the way, I am new to the Washington list, I live in Washougal, Clark County, WA. I am researching my husband's family from Spokane, WA, Surnames: CAMPBELL, DILLEY.
