Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2019-11-11 16:47:37. Caption as posted: "On this Veterans Day honoring the service of all US military veterans, a circa-1945 image of a monument listing Beaver Islanders who served in World War II. Though unverified, it has been claimed that per capita, or relative to the size of the community, the island sent more servicemen into WWII than most communities in the nation. Of the servicemen listed on the pictured monument, three were killed during the war: Emmett Burke, Hubert Green, and Edward Wojan. For reasons unknown, two other island servicemen killed in WW II, Robert Belfy and James Francis Neer, are not listed there. (Photo "
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A person in dark clothing and a cap stands beside a large honor roll monument outside a building. American flags flank the monument, and a black flag stands to the right. The monument displays multiple columns of names beneath a large heading and a motto along its base.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
The catalogue caption identifies this as a circa-1945 photograph of a monument listing local residents who served in World War II. It reports that the monument lists servicemen and notes several omissions and wartime deaths, but those claims are not independently verified here.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
The individual names on the monument are too small to transcribe reliably. The lettering on the black flag is only partially visible.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.
Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
