Preface

This booklet is a compilation of names, short biographies, and pictures of some Merasheeners and/or their descendants who fought, or were involved, in WW1, WW2, Peacekeeping, Armed Forces since 1945, US Forces, Merchant Marines and Reserves.

We have done our best to be as accurate as possible with the data; however, we did receive some conflicting information, pictures, late information, did not receive some replies to requests for updates, etc, on several, so we have included what we have and what we think is correct. A copy of this booklet can be found on merasheen.org. We apologize in advance for any errors or omissions; and if there is something here which you know is incorrect, or missing, please contact either me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.,or Carl Pitcher, at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so that corrections can be made. As this is a living document on this site, it can be updated as necessary.

We thank Carl Pitcher, administrator of this site, for the opportunity to have this booklet included in merasheen.org. It gives us a location where it can be viewed by many people, and gives you the opportunity to view and print any, or all of the booklet, should you wish to do so.

We especially thank all contributors without whose help this would not have been possible. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. It has been a long time coming, but we hope we did justice to honour our brave men and women who have served their country so selflessly.
