Wisconsin Gold Star List

This list of casualties from Shawano, Wisconsin provides details of the hometown, age, unit, location of death, and cause of death, for those soldiers, sailors, marines, and nurses who all gave their life in World War 1, most buried elsewhere other then their home town.

This list is not only those who registered out of Shawano County. We are working on the lists from surrounding counties who may have been from here or lived here but registered elsewhere. We will be adding them as we find them, so please, if you have a relative who was here but maybe on another County List where they applied for draft, please send us their name so we can look into their death's and where they are buried over there.
