The discharges are for men who entered the service from Marathon County. This book is confidential and I got in trouble one day for looking through it. However I was able to get copies of my great-grandfather and his brother-in-law's discharges from the book by going through the Marathon County Veterans Service Office. Their website is at: http://www.co.marathon.wi.us/dep_detail.asp?dep=32 I was able to get the VSO officer to authorize the release of the discharges to me. They contained some good information on my relation's military service. Good Luck!
