FOREWORD TO THE SHAWNEE COUNTY HONOR ROLL BOOK

"THE SHAWNEE COUNTY Honor Roll was conceived, the necessary material gathered, and the book published that the people of this county might have a permanent record of their total activities as called forth by the great World War.
The brave lads who fought "over there", those equally sincere who were left at camps at home, and the loyal ones who stood behind them all, each have attained a niche in world history. If, in years to come, this book calls forth a mirrored image of the stiring days of 1917-18, its publishers will have considered their work worth while."

DEDICATION
" To the brave boys of this county who have so willingly and so courageously given their lives in the service of their country, The Honor Roll is Reverently Dedicated."
