Michigan War Dead: Buried Overseas or Missing in WWI, WWII and Other Conflicts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798353989899)

The interment of remains of American war dead at permanent overseas American military cemeteries was made by the American Graves Registration Service, Quartermaster General of the War Department. When the interment program was completed the cemeteries were turned over to the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) for maintenance and administration. There are 32 Federal memorials, monuments and markers located in 17 foreign countries, providing the final resting place for 5,111 Michigan burials and 2,679 names of those whose bodies were never recovered. This does not include MIA, but usually lost at sea or unidentified.
These cemeteries and memorials, most of which commemorate the service and sacrifice of Americans who served in World War I and World War II, are among the most beautiful and meticulously maintained shrines in the world.
The information provided here is Last name, first name & middle initial; Rank; Branch; Unit; Death date; [either Plot Row Grave or Missing] and Awards, including two Medal of Honor recipients.
