Montgomery County's Tribute to her Heroic Dead

Montgomery County honored its war dead and recorded local service across many conflicts, listing ninety-eight men enrolled in the Mexican War from 1846 to 1948, 2,971 in the War for the Union from 1861 to 1865, and 264 in the Spanish American War in 1898, along with the words “Lest We Forget.” It also cited service connected with the War for Independence in 1776, the French and Indian War, the War with Great Britain from 1812 to 1845, the Black Hawk War in 1832, and William Bratton of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1804, and named soldiers of 1776 buried in Montgomery County. Separate memorial lists named Montgomery County veterans who gave their lives in World War I and World War II, and later dedications named county veterans who sacrificed their lives in Korea from 1950 to 1953 and in Vietnam from 1961 to 1975.
