Navy, Marines and Coast Guard
Inclusion of names in Idaho
World War II Casualty List has been
determined solely by the residence of next
of kin at the time of notification of the
last wartime casualty status. This listing
does not necessarily represent the State of
birth, legal residence, or official State
credit according to service enlistment.
Casualties listed represent only those on
active duty in the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps,
and Coast Guard, resulting directly from
enemy action or from operational activities
against the enemy in war zones from December
7, 1941, to the end of the war. Casualties
in the United States area or as a result of
disease, homicide or suicide in any location
is not included.
This is a state summary taken from casualty
lists released by the Navy Department,
corrected as to the most recent casualty
status and recorded residence of next of
kin.
Personnel listed as MISSING are under
continuous investigation by the Navy
Department, and therefore will be officially
presumed or determined dead. Some will be
found alive. The last official notice to
next of kin will take precedence over this
list.
The WOUNDED tabulation represents a count by individuals and includes only those whose next of kin were officially notified during the war. It does not reflect the number of wounds inflicted by the enemy since many individuals were wounded more then once and many minor wounds were recorded only by Purple Heart awards in the field of action. Complete data on all wounded naval personnel will be available later.
