The following books do not contain a lot of information on an individual
but may be of some help. I will list examples of information found in the
books below. Please e-mail any requests to and list the
book/books you want checked.
BOOKS I WILL DO LOOK UPS FROM:
-Muskingum County Men and Women in World War II
-16th Virginia Infantry
-40th Virginia Infantry
-45th Battalion Virginia Infantry

In the Muskingum County book there is a section that lists the Honored Dead
with small photos and information like:
S. Sgt. Donald Richard Teisinger, killed in action is parachute jump
from burning bomber, Austria.
The other section of the Muskingum County book will give information on Our
Armed Forces from Muskingum County in World War II like:
Bailey, George Wealter, MOM3C, Navy Oct 7, 44- Jul 29, 46; TR Am, AP.
(I will also give explanation for abbreviations: MOM3C=Motor
Machinist's Mate Third Class; TR=Theater Ribbons; Am=American area;
AP=Asiatic Pacific Area).

In the Virginia books you will find information like:
-Thrift, Elliott: enl. 6/4/61 in Co. E. Deserted 6/5/63 or
