Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This manuscript is an eighty-two-page scrapbook complied by Mrs. Larene Braeger during World War II for her husband S/Sgt. Roy Braeger USAAC. It lists o153 veterans, primarily from Brigham City, Bear River City, and Tremonton (Utah). The listings are not alphabetical but were apparently compiled as they became available to Mrs. Braeger. This scrapbook contains the following information on the veterans: name, service, rank (when known), and discharge date. The scrapbook contains pictures, handwritten notes, and some newspaper clippings. Due to wartime restrictions on information, many of the entries are very limited, in some cases listing only which theater of war the person was involved in.

The following abbreviations are for various United States military organizations:
