LIFE magazine lists combat deaths, July 1943

While perusing through Google Book's collection of LIFE magazines, I ran across this story in the July 5, 1943, issue. They listed the names of all combat-related deaths of the American military from the first 18 months of the war by state. The lists would soon grow.

Here is the link to the story, and a few pictures of what the list looks like for my home state of Nebraska:

The library at my university had bound copies of London Illustrated News. It was a weekly magazine. During WWI they listed the officers who died during that week and the names numbered in the hundreds week in and week out.

Sad lists indeed.
