WWII Military Service News

The Jackson Herald
World War II Military Service News from the Years 1943, 1944 and 1945.
Transcribed and annotated by Betty Kessell McIntyre. Converted from paper to digital format by Betty Briggs.

There are 101 pages, divided into 4 sections. The page numbers are red so it's easy to scan down the page to find the one you want.

The surname index lists the page numbers on which you will find a name. There are almost 500 surnames. Find a name and jump to the page, or just browse through the articles.

There are some wonderful stories here, well worth reading even if you don't find a surname you are searching for. These articles give us a small taste of what life was like during that part of the war. If you find typos, they may be mine or they may be the "other" Betty's, or that may just be the way it appeared in the newspaper.

Pages 1 - 25        Pages 26 - 50        Pages 51 - 75        Pages 76 - 101
