Note: Over 12,000 soldiers served in the 8th in some capacity. The rosters on the website primarily represent men that served in combat with the 8th. Many more were trained in the 8th and transferred to other units for combat. Many soldiers were transferred into the 8th for occupation duty or to be shipped home. These latter two types of soldiers are included on our master roster, which is a spreadsheet that is not on the website. Soldiers whose Battalion is known, but Company is unknown will be listed at the bottom of the Headquarters (Hq) Company of that battalion. Soldiers whose both Company and Battalion are not known are listed under 'Unit is not known'. The sources of the roster and awards information are listed if known. Many rosters are not complete. If you are aware of soldiers who are not on these rosters, contact the webmaster.



If you can't find someone you are looking for, please go to our search page.

    Names and information on the rosters are from various sources. They are only partially complete of course and will be updated if more information can be obtained. Most errors found can be attributed to either scanning or typing - I do not type nearly as accurately as I once did.

    Many men served in more than one unit. I just picked one to list them in as there was no way to determine the proper one when transfer and promotion dates were not known. Highest ranks are shown where possible but some are probably not correct since different orders showed different ranks.

    Men in Headquarters and Headquarters Companies may be listed together in HQ company unless rosters are available showing their unit. Men whose battalion is known but company is not known are shown in the Hq Company of the battalion.

    Do you have any old rosters such as the following you could share with us?
  1 - ASTP roster from the University of Detroit, 1943-44
  2 - ASTP roster from North Central College, 1943-44
  3 - Any other rosters or other items of interest which you might have available.

    If you have information to share, send a copy - no originals please - to Scott Thorpe, Webmaster, to help us update our records.
