On February 3, 1943, Farmville's own Company G was mobilized for service in World War II.
Tucker Doyne, then proprietor of Farmville's Doyne-Burger Funeral Home, was a prolific scrapbooker and during World War II compiled a scrapbook filled with newspaper clippings and photographs of members of the 116th Infantry's Company G. These include notifications of servicemen injured or killed in battle while serving on the European front.
This scrapbook is part of a collection in the Farmville-Prince Edward County Historical Society Archives.
