Military Records Other Than Civil War

WORLD WAR I AND MISCELLANEOUS

WAGS member Joanne Calhoun took on the project of identifying and indexing the listed names on the American Legion Post 10 Memorial Shrine, and she tried to find possible persons for the missing nameplates. After finishing this, she continued to research the World War I veterans in the Wenatchee area.

AMERICAN LEGION POST 10

WORLD WAR I MEMORIAL SHRINE

The WWI Memorial Shrine originally stood on the grounds of the Veterans’ Memorial Hall on Okanogan Street. It burned on March 3, 2002, and seven years of vandalism followed. The shrine was moved on December 5, 2009 to the Veterans’ Section, Wenatchee City Cemetery, on Western Avenue. This was accomplished by volunteers from the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center and the Wenatchee Area Genealogical Society.

WORLD WAR II

WAGS member Anne Koenig’s father fought in World War II and she wanted to honor all veterans of that war who had ties to the North Central Washington area. Most information is extrapolated from obituaries and Find-a-Grave listings.
