The service men scrapbook, created by an unknown compiler, contains clippings of newspaper articles about various Seattle residents serving in the armed forces during World War II. Most of the articles are from the Seattle Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and are arranged mainly chronologically, beginning with August 22, 1943 and ending with June 10, 1945. The articles profile Seattleites in uniform -- both men and women -- and detail events in their lives during the war such as, awards, medals and accolades received; engagement and wedding announcements; obituaries and articles about death in battle; and other human interest stories. There are also references in many of the articles to the service men and women who attended the University of Washington.
