Using the name "William P. Smith" as above as an example, it was found that at the time of writing there were 84 men of this name in the Army, and several hundred men with the name "William Smith" without respect to initials. In attempting to identify one of this number much confusion could arise, and this is obviated by the use of a serial number. Serial numbers are assigned with great care and according to a set of regulations. Consecutive serial numbers, for example, are not assigned to twins since this might cause confusions of identity between two persons with the same birth date and same general physical characteristics. General speaking, numbers fall into two broad categories: simple seven or eight digit numbers (in a few cases fewer digits) for male enlisted personnel, and prefixed serial numbers for other personnel. Regular Army enlisted men who entered the service before the outset of Selective Service bear seven-digit or lower serial numbers, usually beginning with "6" or "7", as 5974426, Men who enlisted in the Army of the United States have eight-digit numbers beginning with "1", the second digit indicating the Service Command of origin. For example, the serial number 14066025 would indicate that the man enlisted in the Army of the United States in the Fourth Service Command (Southeastern U. S.), Men called into federally recognized national Guard service received eight-digit numbers beginning with "2", the third digit representing the service Command: 20107658 indicates a National Guardsman from New England (First Service command). Men inducted or enlisted through Selective Service were given eight-digit numbers beginning with "3" or "4", the second digit representing the Service Command. The prefixed serial numbers for other than male enlisted personnel carry a designated letter: 0 - (as in O-1574257) for male commissioned officers; W - for male Warrant officers; T-for Flight officers of the Army air Forces; L - for commissioned officers of the Women's Army Corps; V - for WAC Warrant officers' A - for WAC enlisted women; R - for Hospital Dietitians, and M -for Physical Therapy Aides. GRADE: This is synonymous with the misnomer "rank", and the abbreviations which may be found in this book are as follows: GEN,General (four star) LT G, General (one star) COL, Colonel LT C, Lieutenant Colonel MAJ, Major CAPT, Captain 1 LT, First Lieutenant; 2 LT, Second Lieutenant C WO, Chief Warrant Officer WOJG, Warrant Officer, Junior Grade FL O, Flight Officer AV C, Aviation Cadet M SG, Master Sergeant 1 SG, First Sergeant T SG, Technical Sergeant S SG, Staff Sergeant TEC3, Technician Third Grade SGT, Sergeant TEC4, Technician Fourth Grade CPL, Corporal TEC5, Technician Fifth Grade PFC, Private First Class PVT, Private TYPE OF CASUALTY: This is indicated by the symbol at the far right of each each column. An individual who was killed in action, whether at the front or by enemy action in the rear areas, or if a prisoner of war, whether by air bombardment of his prison camp or by being shot while escaping, is designated "KIA." Persons who were wounded and later died are marked "DOW: -- died of wounds. Those who suffered fatal battle INJURIES as opposed to WOUNDS, in combat or in combat areas, and died in a line-of-duty status, are designated "DOI" --died of injuries. Other line-of-duty deaths, such as from sickness, homicide, suicide or accidents outside combat areas (including training and maneuver deaths) are listed "DNB"--died, non-battle. Individuals who were determined to be dead under Public Law 490 are designated "FOD"-- finding of death. Missing persons are marked with the single letter "M". Only those persons who died in a line-of-duty status are listed herein. Individuals who were not in line of duty at the time of their deaths are not so listed. Though personnel not in line of duty are not listed, failure to find in these lists the name of a person known to be dead should not be taken as prima-facie evidence that such person died not in line of duty.
