AGB iPO Oft 1 THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, UEETFORD, N. G, FRIDAY. JUNE i , 1948.' Q LISTS YAR DEAD OPSSIuS; RHST POST VAR ROLL NAflS 303,973 The first consolidated listing of Army dead and missing in World War II a compilation of the. names of nearly 310,000 men and women who gave their lives in the Nation's service -was released today by the War Department. An overall death and missing rate of 2.98 per cent from all causes was indicated by the listing. Of more than, 10,000,000 men and women mo . bilized into the Army between the Presidential declaration of unlimited national emergency on May 27, 1941, and the concluding date of the study, January 31, 1946, a total of 307,-1 664 had been killed in action, died of other causes' or became missing, lat er to be determined dead. 'In ad dition, 1,424 persons were still car ried as missing on January 31, 1946, bringing the total number of names in the list to 308,978. Of the total, 67.1 per cent, num bering 176,432, were listed as killed in action. Other casualty break downs showed that 26,493 (8.26 per cent) died of wounds suffered in com bat; 929 (0.3 per cent) died of com bat injuries; 85,219 (27.6 per cent) died other than in battle, and 19,481 ately from all walks of life and all sections of the country, was notice able throughout the report. An (6.3 per cent) were administratively I evidence of the democratic working determined to have died. The miss- of the draft was the fact that only ing figure of 1,424 represented 0.48 per cent of the total - Most of the persons who were de termined to have died were carried for periods of at least one year in a missing status, and were declared dead under Public Law 490, 77th Congress, after thorough investiga tion of each case. The "death rate" in various states (which also includes missing) fol lowed closely the proportions of their contributions to Army strength, al though some dislocations were not ed, especially in the case of New Mexico, which early in the war suf fered heavy casualties in a National Guard unit in the Philippines. New Mexico, -with four-tenths of one per cent of the nation's population, con tributed .43 of one per cent of the Army's strength, and suffered .66 of one per cent of the Army's total deaths. The state's death rate in the Army was 4.77 per cent, as com pared to the national average of 2.98 per cent. The operation of the Selective ber three of the smallest of the nation's three thousand counties failed to, suf fer a casualty. These, counties were King, in Texas, Esmeralda,' Jn Nev ada, and Yellowstone Park; in Wyo ming. , . , "To insure greatest accuracy in pre paration of the liBts, The Adjutant General's office in Washington used punch-card tabulating and printing .machines which automatically printed from coded cards the information ap pearing in the books.. The lists were proof-read after preparation- and were reproduced to printing plates by photo-offset process, which re duced the possibility of error in com position. . The tabulation shows Perquimans County casualties to total thirteen; seven as killed in action; one died Of wounds and five died from causes other than non battle.
