CHAPTER XXX
PLYMOUTH COUNTY HONOR ROLL
So far as known to the author of this work, nothing like a complete roll of the honored dead who gave their lives in the World War has been presented for Plymouth County in any publication. There is a forthcoming volume to be issued by the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts, which is being very carefully prepared and will, when is- sued from the press, undoubtedly be exceedingly accurate and valu- able. The author of this history acknowledges much assistance and many kindnesses extended to him by those engaged in the preparation of the Honor Roll of Massachusetts. A substantial part of the fol- lowing records have been obtained through this invaluable cooperation.
The writer, however, wishes it distinctly understood that such er- rors as may have crept into the roll of honor as here presented will not necessarily appear in the volume when issued by the Common- wealth, as great pains is being taken to make corrections as the work of preparation proceeds. With the resources at hand and accessi- bility to official records, it is expected that the Commonwealth Roll of Honor will be a document of refining corrections, worthy of the great interest which is being taken in its preparation.
These World War Service Rolls are an integral part of this copy- righted work, and the written consent of the author of this work must be obtained for their republication in whole or in part. He will appreciate notification of errors or omissions for correction in future publication and to transmit to those from whom much of the informa- tion has been obtained, that the Honor Roll of Massachusetts or any of the towns or counties which it contains may be as free as pos- sible from inaccuracies. Where a star appears before the name of one on the Honor Roll, it is to denote that he was killed in action.
Several towns in Plymouth County should be credited with young men who fought in the World War in foreign service, as their homes within the local towns at the time of their enlistments or when they entered the service. It is believed that the list presented accounts for most of those in foreign service who were killed in action or other- wise gave their lives in the Great War.
