World War II veterans, Washington County, Md.

Washington County residents enlisted to serve in World War II. This scrapbook records some of that history. Veda Poole Carbaugh, whose husband Frank received a Purple Heart for wounds received in Germany, pasted stories found in the Hagerstown newspapers into a large scrapbook. She included over 700 individuals, some of them several times as they were injured, received commendations, came home, met other service men from Hagerstown or died from wounds.
