Description
<p><span>The </span>Florida-France Soldier Stories<span>project seeks to tell the stories of the Florida soldiers buried in the American Battle Monuments Commission cemeteries in France. Our goal is to honor and commemorate the brave individuals who gave their lives supporting the Allied forces, liberating France, and defeating Germany in the Second World War. Simultaneously, our goal is to teach the students who participate in this research project about the history of France and Florida during World War II, about the history of individual servicemen, and about how to implement historical research methods in their work.</span></p>

Census--United States

Description
The Census population schedule for Precinct 12, Orlando, Ward 1 in 1940. Individuals are identified by name, titles and terms, gender, age, marital status, race, relationship to head of household, birthplace, birth year, the last place of residence, and occupation. A notable resident listed in this record was James Whitley (ca. 1924-1944), who appears on row 11. A native of Orange County, Florida, Whitely was a private in the U.S. Army during World War II. He died during his service in France and is currently buried at the Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial in Dinozé, France. Whitley is one of 85 Florida residents interned at Epinal. He was born to John Whitely and Rachel Whitley sometime around the end of 1924. As an African-American, Whitley grew up in segregated Orange County. He was drafted into the Army on February 9, 1943, and was assigned to a segregated unit in the 4255th Quartermaster Truck Company. Whitley's unit transferred to Hampshire, England, on June 30, 1944, where they managed supplies for the invasion of Europe by the Allied Forces. Whitley died during combat in France on September 12, 1944. He was awarded the American Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal, and a Purple Heart for his service.
