Missouri State Guard
During WWII, the Missouri State Guard took over the role of the Missouri NationalGuard during its deployment. The Missouri Sate Guard was made up of men who
were too young or old to join the military. Others were classified as 4F, or physicallyineligible for service. In many cases this was not too great a disadvantage for themto serve in the State Guard. For example, CPT Merle Chiles had asthma and served.CPT Chiles was also crucial to the war effort as a civilian as well with his work in the
manufacture of bomb sights
