World War I Soldiers, Deceased

Wayne County, Michigan
World War I Soldiers


Below is a listing of those WWI Soldiers (Heros) who gave their lives serving our country. Although the list has been proof-read, I am human, and may have made a spelling error or type-o, to that I apologize, and would appreciate any input you would like to send to me: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Please add WWI Soldiers in the subject line. Also, none of these men are my family members, and I do not have any other information on any of them other then what is listed on this page. When time allows, I will also be adding those soldiers who died in WWI from disease, accident, or wounds. (last update Dec 2, 2005)
