This book is a tribute to those 142 soldiers from the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia who died in service to their country from the Civil war up to the present day.

Each soldier is profiled with birth and death dates, biographical details and military assignments. There are some photographs.

The greatest number, over 80, died in the Civil War. This is a snapshot of the impact of that conflict on a typical small town of the times. During this period, Frankford had only been a part of the City of Philadelphia for less than 10 years.

Also included are contemporary profiles of 47 Veterans living in Frankford today as well as the Honor Roll of over 300 Frankford Veterans who could be identified by name and branch.
