Good morning Professor.
In your class regarding WWII a few years ago the NYT (and local papers) published the names of the KIA.
Since I’ve seen a few names KIA in the Times, I can’t read Harper’s close enough to see any of the articles. Illustrations, headlines and titles I can expand.
Anyway, how does the population gain knowledge of their kin? I know the Army routine now, but what happened back then?
Did the Atlanta Journal Constitution and NYT (others) list the dead? And how long would it take?

So far the Times is listing the names of all the dead and wounded it can get access to. I have prepped issues only through July 27, and they are still doing that. Eventually they may have to add a page if they are to continue the practice.
