Informational Background

After the Korean Conflict, the Branch Agricultural College formed a War Memorial Committee to honor those students who lost their lives in military action. Part of this committee's mission was to establish a "Memory Book". This first step was to send questionnaires to families of students who had been killed in action during both of the World Wars and the Korean Conflct. As of 2024, there is no evidence this "Memory Book" was ever created.
