The following information is from a book published by the Bussey American Legion Post No. 505 in 1947. Businesses and individuals from Bussey, Albia, Knoxville, Tracy, Attica, Hamilton and Lovilia, Iowa provided financial assistance. The Post dedicated the book as "a memorial to our buddies, who were killed in action."
(Note: Names in the book are not in alphabetical order; however, I have alphabetized them. Three of the veterans have photos and service record information in the last section of book, but here they have been placed first. KB)
