These case files contain general biographical information on the veteran, the record of their military service, information on where they were interred and what marker or tombstone marks their location, whether that marker needed to be replaced or reset, or if they did not in fact have a marker and were in need of one, along with photocopies of outside sources, newspaper articles, and photos of the markers.
