A historical society in Bucks County recently celebrated a monument that stood in a local town, which documented locals in the armed forces.

The Doylestown Historical Society recently published pictures of a monument that once stood in the area. Known as an “Honor Roll” the Doylestown Chamber of Commerce erected it in 1942 to honor those who has gone overseas in the midst of World War II.

“This war service roster bore the names of all Doylestown Borough and Doylestown Township residents serving in the armed forces of the United States,” the society said on social media. “The memorial stood on the grounds of the 1877 courthouse near the corner of East Court and Broad Streets. Its center panel was 8 ½ feet wide, the two wing panels were each 6 feet wide, and all three panels were 8 feet in height.”

The committee continued to add names over the course of the war, with 575 nameplates being added and staying even after the war had ended.
