"Since Mount Morris was settled in 1837, our country has engaged in five wars: the Mexican War, 1845; the Civil War, 1861; the Spanish-American War, 1898; World War I, 1914; and World War II, 1941. Mount Morris did her full part in achieving victory in these conflicts. This book has been published primarily as a record of those who served in the armed forces of World War II. The pictures and sketches following include not only those who lived in Mount Morris and surrounding territory, but also a number of boys who lived in nearby towns but were employed regularly in the Kable printing plant or other local industries. It is only fair, also, to give credit to the large number of local boys who were not quite up to the physical standards required for combat duty, but who willingly assisted to produce food on the farms or who helped in the necessary industries of the country. An abbreviated list is also given of the men who served in the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and World War I. These lists are as nearly complete as it is possible to make them If any names are omitted, it is entirely unintentional.----from the Preface by H. G. Kable Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
