Soft launch: Soldier biographies and research notes vary in completeness. Prefer class-roster, NARA, newspapers, and other cited sources for contested facts — treat Research notes as leads, not settled history. Anyone can correct a page; contact us with questions.

This wiki continues the public Ritchie Boys research begun by Daniel (Dan) Gross. It is meant for surviving Ritchie Boys, their families, and anyone interested in their history — and to carry forward the work Dan started.
The project began with demographics and the Camp Ritchie class roster. Over time it has grown to include biographies, essays, photographs, and related resources. Movies and books have been published on the subject; this site is one more place to find names, sources, and stories.
Much is still unknown. If you have questions or information about a Ritchie Boy, please contact us or add it on the wiki.
