Check all the actors from A to Z



I was wondering the other day about how many actors served during the second world war. I knew some of them, but didn't know about all of these. Check out the url provided and see all the rest. A good site to visit.

They Also Served:
Actors with WWII Military Records
This is a page started on the Combat! web site on January 8, 2002. As I build this, I hope this to be a reference of actors and other entertainers who served in uniform in WWII, with details about their war records. It started with just two detailed biographies. Others to follow. If you have verified information about an actor's war record, please contact me and I'd love to include it on the site. Full credit and bylines for all authored works.
