The Complete Clarksburg, Ohio World War II Guide is one of the country's most thorough studies that closely analyzes one village's involvement during World War II. Research, letters, a veteran index, and over 80 photographs highlight the service of 222 veterans from Clarksburg (Ross County) who served our country and details a number of experiences from training to battle. Clarksburg sent one-in-five of its residents to war when the national average was one-in-eight, and an astounding 45% of the village's infantrymen and over one-third of its aerial crewmembers were either killed or wounded. Even more noteworthy was the high number of aircraft crashes suffered by Clarksburg's heavy bomber crews. Even though Clarksburg had its fair share of decorated soldiers, a majority of the village's veterans filled common roles. They were common men called upon every day to face uncommon responsibilities and a significant number found themselves in positions of authority and in a place to perform heroically in some of the war's most fierce battles.
