Camden, N.J. — Internet WWII War Memorial
A map of Camden, N.J.
Dedicated to the men and women of Camden, N.J. who served their country faithfully in World War II.
While it is true that there are monuments dedicated to some of the men and women who gave of themselves for our country in WWII, I felt that there was a need for far more than currently exists at the time. As of February 2002, I am aware of 3 stone monuments dedicated to various men from Camden who died during the war years while in service. There also exists a tribute on the wall within City Hall, which unfortunately, is placed so high on the wall and lighted so poorly that no one can really view it or read the names on it.
I do not at this time have a complete listing of Camden war dead from World War II, so as of this date, this is a work in progress. I hope to assemble a page of some sort on each man from the City who made the supreme sacrifice for country during the war. Click on links where you find them, and on photos as well for enhanced views and to find out more about each individual.

HMTS Rohna
Six men from Camden, N.J. — Frank Ballerino, Michael Carr, Michael Yachus, Stephen V. Koscianski, Lewis Riondino, and Joseph H. Johnson — died together when the troop transport HMTS Rohna was struck by a German guided glider bomb and sank off the coast of North Africa. In addition, six other Camden County men — 19-year-old Harry V. Taylor Jr. of Haddonfield, Merl Reagle of Lindenwold, Walter McKeon of Blackwood, Carl Johanson and Jacob K. Jenkins of Pennsauken, and Elmer F. Day of Merchantville — also were lost that day. In total, 1,015 men were lost, but the story was never told to the families or the general public for over 57 years due to wartime censorship.
The SS Leopoldville Disaster
On December 24, 1944 the SS Leopoldville, carrying over 2,000 American soldiers, was torpedoed off the coast of Normandy. 764 Americans lost their lives that night, including two from Camden, N.J., PFC Edward E. Benson, and Staff Sergeant Robert F. Miles, who is memorialized on Camden’s 8th Ward War Memorial.
