I have previously posted two other honor rolls from the Beverly Historical Society:

Beverly Historical Society – Revolutionary War 
Beverly Historical Society – Men who Answered the Lexington Alarm 19 April 1775

I have transcribed and photographed many honor rolls from town across New England.  Volunteers have been transcribing honor rolls across the United States and in other countries for the Honor Roll Project.  By posting these photographs and transcriptions online, we are making these names of men and women who have served in the military accessible to search engines for friends, comrades, family members and descendants.
