State Summary of War Casualties 
[KANSAS]

U.S. NAVY
1946

Important Notice

Inclusion of names in this State group has been determined solely by the residence of next 
of kin at the time of notification of the last wartime casualty status.  This listing does 
not necessarily represent the State of birth, legal residence, or official State credit 
according to service enlistment.

Casualties listed represent only those on activity duty in the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, 
and Coast Guard, resulting directly from enemy action or from operational activities 
against the enemy in war zones from December 7, 1941, to the end of the war.  Casualties 
in the United States area or as a result of disease, homicide or suicide in any location 
are not included.

This is a State summary taken from casualty lists released by the Navy Department, 
corrected as to the most recent casualty status and recorded residence of next of kin.

Personnel listed as MISSING are under continuous investigation by the Navy Department,
corrected as to the most recent casualty status and recorded residence of next kin.

The WOUNDED tabulation represents a count by individuals and includes only those whose next
kin were officially notified during the war.  It does not reflect the number of wounds 
inflicted by the enemy since many individuals were wounded more than once and many minor 
wounds were recorded only by Purple Heart awards in the fields of action.  Complete data 
on all wounded naval personnel will be available later.
