Abstract:

The Junior Class of Military Preparatory School, The Citadel, had an estimated 6,000+ cadets who served during WWII. In 1944, 222 class members were killed/wounded in their war efforts; 13 of these men died on D-Day, the invasion of France. The cadets became quickly labeled as "the class that never was."
