book collects and preserves individual stories and service details, providing not only names and ranks but also personal backgrounds and circumstances of death. Its primary aim is to offer permanent tribute and remembrance for the fallen, ensuring their sacrifices are not forgotten by future generations. The opening of this volume sets a solemn, respectful tone, with introductory remarks that reflect on the significance of the war and the lasting debt owed to those who died. The editor emphasizes that history’s judgment on the war’s causes and conduct will come in time, but that the nobility of those who gave their lives stands above interpretation. The preface thoroughly explains the methodical approach to the compilation: biographies are arranged alphabetically, and details such as parentage, education, careers, military service, and, where possible, excerpts from letters are included. The first entries themselves provide poignant, individualized portraits—concise yet personal—of servicemen from a wide array of backgrounds, each record honoring their life, military service, and ultimate sacrifice.
