The classes of 1943-1947 of George Washington High School, which was the City's sole white high school, erected a monument out front commemmorating those students who died in the war.  The monument still sits in front of what now serves as George Washington Middle School.

I am here providing very brief biographies of the fifteen from the Del Ray area.  The biographies are necessarily short, in light of their brief lives, but I wanted folks to see them as real people, not just names carved in granite.

Note:  There were no Black families living in Del Ray at the time, and hence no losses from this part of Alexandria.
