These are the same lists NARA has made available for many years in paper form. The Office of the Secretary of Defense transferred the KCCF to NARA in 1981; they plan to transfer an expanded and revised version of the records in FY1999. The KCCF contains selected descriptive data about U.S. military personnel who died by hostile means as a result of combat duty in the Korean Conflict, including personnel declared dead while in a missing or captured status. There is one record for each individual, 33,642 in all. The dates of death range from 1950 to 1957. Each state list incorporates selected data elements for all deceased casualties whose state "home of record," as identified by the serviceman upon last entrance into military service, was that state. The state lists are in two formats: alphabetically by last name; or, alphabetically by place of "home of record." "Home of record" does not necessarily refer to the place of birth, residence of next of kin, place of longest residence, or other common uses of the term "hometown." In the KCCF place of "home of record" for Army casualties is by county, while for Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps casualties, it is by city/town. The state lists include the following data for each casualty: name, rank or grade, branch of service, home of record, date of casualty, and category of casualty.
