·State Summary of
. War Casualties
[SOUTH DAKOTA]
U. S. NAVY
1946

Important Notice
Inclusion of names in this State group 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
are 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 contin'uous investigation by
the Navy Department, and therefore are subject to momentary status
change. Many of these 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 than once and
many minor wounds were recorded only by Purple Heart awards in
the fields of action. Complete data on all wounded naval personnel
w.ill be available later.
