Pages 137 to 156 of this book seem to be snapshots (taken by Burt County servicemen?) and submitted for inclusion on collage style pages. Many are only 1-2 square inches. Only occasionally does a name appear. On some pages there are comments/captions, but overall - we see little of genealogical signaficance that is of a useful size.
Three pages of snapshots HAVE been processed as those photos are larger, and seem to be significant in relation to the serviceman of Burt County. Those are pages 153-155 (see below for links).
We provide the following "descriptions". Even when a name is mentioned, the figure is usually less than 3/8" tall in the photo and the face impossible to see.
Should you desire a copy of a particular page that has not been published here, please contact Bill, the Burt County cc and make you request to him.
