Searching for Soldiers (from Halifax County) who served in WWI
Make Sure Your Relative Is Listed.
New research is in progress to publish a book on men and women from Halifax County who served during World War I. Materials on the internet are a good source, but there are cases where information may not be accurate and in many cases incomplete. Since over 60% of World War I records were destroyed by a fire in the 1970s, it is important to rely on other sources such as information from family members and visits to many cemetery sites. Since so many records cannot be found, the Society hopes members of the public will help with information. To date over 650 records of soldiers in the county have been located; however, there are many more. In the near future a list will be placed on this website. Please check the list and help the Society in honoring those who in many cases have been forgotten. For more information, contact Society President, Barbara Bass at ‘bdbass@cstone.net’.
