Military Service Notes Column Index - Search
During World War II the South Bend Tribune began a short column entitled "Service
Notes." The column gave information about St. Joseph County citizens who were being
drafted, entering the service, being promoted or sent to different locations. The
Service Notes database covers the period from 1941 through 1979, including World
War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Citations in the Tribune Notes field
refer to items that can be retrieved from microfilm while the Notes File field
refers to clippings on cards in Local & Family History.
