PREFACE
The writing of a history of Fayette County's part in the Great World War was first instigated by the War Records Section of the Illinois State Historical Library. In correspondence with Ira D. Lakin, editor of the Van- dalia Union, it was urged that the war records of Fay- ette County be preserved in some permanent form and that a committee should take the work in charge. The committee as finally selected and approved by the State office was composed of the following: Judge William M. Farmer, chairman, Ira D. Lakin, F. E. Crawford, C. F. Easterday, N. C. Gochenour, Dr. A. L. T. Williams, G. L. Hausmann and Will P. Welker.
At a meeting of the committee Jan. 21, 1921, it was definitely decided that the history would be pub- lished in book form and the writer was asked to under- take the task of compiling and writing it. The work was undertaken, although somewhat reluctantly, and has been pushed as rapidly as other pressing duties would permit.
The task has been a peculiarly difficult one; pro- gress has been slow, owing alike to the limited amount of time at the writer's disposal and the many difficulties encountered in gathering authentic data. No time nor pains have been spared to make the work accurate in every detail. It has entailed a voluminous correspond- ence and endless searching of newspaper files and records of various organizations and war agencies. Owing to the fact that state and federal departments have, as yet, nothing to make records by counties avail- able, it was necessary to gather all material within the county and to build the structure of this record from the ground up.
In some branches of war activity the available ma- terial was not to be had to make the records as com- plete as we should like to see them; but by far the greater task in the actual work of writing has been, not to get a sufficiency of material, but to select from the mass of material gathered that which was of real

worth and discard what, even though interesting, would add nothing to the value of the work as a document of history.
We who are so near the Great War so lately ended see it as a gigantic subsiding storm cloud yet hovering on the horizon and which we are anxious to forget. Therefore it is not for those of the present but for those of the future who will be interested in the war record of our county that we have written, and the object con- stantly in mind has been to make this record worth while to them. To what degree success has been achieved time alone will be able to tell.
Much valuable assistance has been given the writ- er by various individuals throughout the county. It is, impossible to mention all who have assisted in the im- mense task of gathering material. Invaluable service has been rendered by the publishing firm of T. N. Lakin & Sons, in granting the free use of the Vandalia Union files from which much important information has been gathered; by Mr. William Henry, chairman of the draft board for accurate and complete records of the draft; by Mr. Dan Colburn to whom we are indebted for the chapter on Company I, and by the public school teachers of the county in combing every nook and cor- ner of the county for information that could scarcely have been gathered at all without their assistance.
If errors have crept into the work and if there have been any omissions they are due to limitations be- yond the writer's control. Every effort has been made to make the records complete and accurate in every detail but repeated efforts have not met with response in a few instances. We refer especially to the memorial honor roll where it will be found there are a few photo- graphs lacking. Where there is no photo of one of these honored sons of our county the ommission is due either to no photograph being available or the failure of relatives after repeated appeals to send to the writer the photograph requested.
An earnest effort has been made to give in the following pages a consistent record, without undue ag- grandizement or disparagement; and without discrim- ination but, in-so-far as has been humanly possible, giving all features the attention that is their due.
If readers in times that are yet to be shall suffi-

ciently value the records written here as to turn to these pages and here read the story of. the sacrifices made and the services rendered by the sons and daughters of Fayette County, in the service and at home, in hu- manity's greatest war, then the object of this little volume will have been achieved.

CHAPTER I.
FAYETTE COUNTY ENLISTMENTS.
When America entered the Great War Fayette County was one of the counties of the state that pos- sessed a trained military unit. Company I, of which a detailed history is given elsewhere, was already well trained and officered and after being recruited up to war strength was soon to give a splendid account of itself in service at the front. In addition, recruiting was rapid as Fayette county boys entered other military units of the U. S. service, so that when voluntary en- listments were discontinued and all enlistments made through the selective service, Fayette county had a large number of voluntary enlistments to her credit as will be seen elsewhere.
Second to none in patriotic zeal and in service rendered were the boys of the selective service. Were it possible we would give a record of the service of these, as we would also do of all voluntary enlistments outside Company I. But inasmuch as Company I is the only Fayette County military organization that re- inained in any sense intact throughout the war a de- tailed account can only be given of the service of this one organization. What the boys of Company I did, what they sacrificed, what glory they reflected upon their home county is illustrative of the achievements of every other Fayette county boy who served in the great- est war of history.
Scattered well over the great western front, serv- ing with the English, serving with the French, serving with the Americans, were Fayette county men. On U. S. battleships and submarines, flying through the air, training in the various military camps; everywhere where there was service to be rendered and dangers to be encountered they were to be found. And because they were not privileged to serve, with but the one ex- ception, as a unit, deeds of heroism and acts of service deserving of a place in our county's history can never be chronicled, and we must content ourselves with re- cording only what records have made available.
