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.
Dan created and maintained the original website for many years. Before he passed away, ownership of the site moved to a group of Ritchie Boys researchers and historians, who now maintain this wiki, the domain, and its contents.
This wiki is not an official page of the Ritchie History Museum.
Except where another source is noted, the writing on this site is part of Secret Heroes: Camp Ritchie and the Making of the Ritchie Boys, Copyright © 2018–2026 www.theritchieboys.com. Some material is used with permission. All rights reserved.
