Columbia University War Memorial

The Office of the Provost is creating a digital and searchable Columbia War Memorial which will exist on line and in a fixed kiosk on campus which will be unveiled this year in mid-December. We are attempting to include images and information about those alumni who died in the service of their country in wars in which the United States participated in an official capacity: that includes World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Afghanistan and Iraq.

We would appreciate any information that any alumnus can supply regarding members of any school under Columbia University who passed away in the service of their country. If possible, please include the person's name, year they received or would have received the degree (class), date of death, war, and an image or a letter or any other similar materials--and any other information you may have about the circumstances in which they died.  Please contact Vivian Ducat (vsd2001@columbia.edu) if you have any information.
