Memorial Certificates Honor Lafayette County War Dead
The French Government awarded Memorial Certificates to the next of kin of Lafayette County soldiers who died in World War I. Post No. 10 of the American Legion at Oxford distributed the certificates and lists nineteen recipients with ranks and units. A county record of recipients and next of kin is hoped for publication in the Oxford Eagle.
