A free, public record of more than 200,000 U.S. servicemen who died or went missing in the First World War, the Second World War and the Korean War, and who rest or are memorialized on foreign soil. Officers and enlisted men, scouts and nationals alike.

Tip: if you can't find a name, try searching by the first few letters of the last name.

Our purpose

Every name was a life. This archive helps you find them again.

Across quiet cemeteries in France, Belgium, Italy, England, the Philippines and beyond lie American service members who never came home. Many families have only a name and a war. This archive brings together the public record — rank, unit, date of death, decorations and final resting place — so that relatives, students and historians can trace an individual story and pay their respects.

The Meuse-Argonne: America's Forgotten Battle

The largest battle in American history is also one of its least remembered. More than 14,000 of its dead lie in a single cemetery in France.
