1941 – 1946
The county frame, counted from the printed volume: The War Department's Honor List of Dead and Missing, State of Indiana (1946) is the Army's official necrology of the war, and its St. Joseph County tabulation, counted by South Bend's pass from the printed page, gives the county 430 Army dead: 267 killed in action, 35 died of wounds, 106 dead non-battle, 20 findings of death, and 2 missing — the categories sum to the 430 the volume prints. The names themselves fill the county's pages of the volume (pp. 33–35) in one alphabetical county list, without towns. No Mishawaka subtotal exists in the volume, and none is manufactured here.
The city roll, joined: Mishawaka’s own Second World War death roll was long the honest gap of this record — the Army’s Honor List will not divide by town, and no complete city source had been counted. The joining has since been done: the Honor List counted whole for the county and parted by the county veterans index’s town attributions, the Navy Department’s State Summary divided by its next-of-kin addresses, and the Notre Dame roll read beside them. The city roll stands in this section at sixty-six names — fifty-six of the Army and Army Air Forces, ten of the sea services — each printed at the strength of its own record, with the boundary names the roll does not take printed after them. The roll corrects this article’s first printing in one particular: the Notre Dame roll carried two Mishawaka names, not one — Eberhart, who stands among the sixty-six, and Captain Thomas J. Webster, who stands at the boundary on the community rolls alone.
