World War II: War Dead Questionnaires

This collection consists of Questionnaires completed by the next-of-kin of Virginians killed in military service during World War II. The three-page questionnaire records personal and military data including birth date and place, date of birth of children, education, date and place of enlistment, branch of service, military honors, circumstances of death, and more. Information was collected by the Virginia World War II History Commission and used to compile the Gold Star Honor Roll of Virginians in the Second World War, a roster of Virginia's 9,000 war dead, published in 1947.
