OTHERS IN THE SERVICE


In addition to those in the service, whose photographs and records are shown in the preceding pages, there were more than 2,000 other men from Knox County in the var- ious branches of military, naval and air activity whose photographs and records it was impossible to obtain, though every effort was made to do so.


The names of these men are given below. There are some inaccuracies in spelling, as the names were taken from rosters, records, newspapers, and files. These errors have been eliminated as far as possible through consulting the Knoxville city directory, but a large number of the names did not appear in it. Many of the men lived in the rural districts of the county.


The consolidation of this list with the preceding one shows that approximately 5,000 of the men and boys of Knox County were in federal service between the declaration of war April 6, 1917, and the conclusion of the armistice November 11, 1918. In addition, there were many hundreds of men and women who did war work, but who did not take the federal oath or put on a uniform.
