Also contains a List of Illustrations, including Victory in Europe; Fortress of Europe; Operation HUSKY; Operation AVALANCHE; From Cassino to the Arno; Final Offensive in Italy; Operation OVERLORD; The Normandy Beaches; Breakout; Operation ANVIL; Battle of France; Path of the Red Army; Ardennes Counteroffensive; Closing the Rhine; Battle of Germany; Victory over Japan; Burma Campaign; Japanese Operations Against U.S. Airfields; The Great Ocean; Southwest Attack; Central Pacific Advance; Battle of Leyte; Theaters of Operations; Battle of Luzon; Philippine Liberation; Okinawa; Planned Assault on Japan; The Arena of Victory; and Zones of Occupation in Germany and Austria. Because of the very bulk of the information plus the blank spots of essential secrecy, it has been difficult for the public to place the developments in their proper perspective. It now becomes possible to examine them in retrospect, with an emphasis more nearly approaching that which history is likely to give them. Contains an advertising related disclaimer, as several local advertisements are at the back of this booklet and were used to defray costs of the local material included in this compilation. Includes separate lists of White and Colored servicemen of Wilkes County. Wilkes County, named for British politician and supporter of American independence, John Wilkes, is considered Georgia's first county established by European Americans; it was the first of eight original counties created in the first state constitution on February 5, 1777. The other seven counties were organized from existing colonial parishes. Wilkes was unique in being made up of land ceded in 1773 by the indigenous Creek and Cherokee Native American nations in their respective Treaties of Augusta. Its location was unique due to its close proximity to the Atlantic seaboard fall line. Between 1790 and 1854, Wilkes County's area was reduced as it was divided to organize new counties following the growth of population in the area. The Georgia legislature formed the counties of Elbert, Oglethorpe, and Lincoln entirely from portions of Wilkes County. Wilkes also contributed part of the lands used in the creation of Madison, Warren, Taliaferro, Hart, McDuffie, and Greene Counties. Wilkes County was the site of one of the most important battles of the American Revolutionary War to be fought in Georgia. During the Battle of Kettle Creek in 1779, the American Patriot forces were victorious over British Loyalists. Settlers increased pressure on the federal government to remove Native Americans from the region, including the Five Civilized Tribes from the Southeast. Congress passed the Indian Removal Act in 1830 and the government forcibly removed most of the members of these tribes to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. None of the battles of the American Civil War was fought in or near Wilkes County. But here President Jefferson Davis met for the final time with the Confederate Cabinet, and they officially dissolved the government of the Confederate States of America. Wilkes County was the last-known location of the gold rumored to have been lost from the Confederate Treasury. The present-day Wilkes County Courthouse was built in Washington at the site of the cabinet meeting.…
