Diligent search of all records fails to reveal others. There may have been, but up to this time the facts had not been obtainable here. The pages bear the names of the men, the date of their deaths, the place where death occurred and, where possible, the burial place. This Honor Roll does not contain the names of men who served in the war and died after leaving service. All those names appearing are of men who died while in the service of their country.

DIGEST OF THE SERVICE RECORDS
OF THE RACINE COUNTY MEN AND WOMEN IN THE WORLD WAR

RACINE COUNTY IN THE WORLD WAR
CHAPTER XXXVI
RECORDS OF THE MEN AND WOMEN IN SERVICE
I N THE subsequent pages of this volume ap- pear the summarized military records of Racine county men and women who were in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps; also per- sons attached to the military branches, as Red Cross nurses on duty with the army, Y. M. C. A. workers assigned to do welfare work in camps and cantonments, and young men in- ducted into the Student Army Training Corps and permitted to attend college during the autumn of 1918 instead of going into active service at once.
No effort was made to classify the names according to the type of service performed, and they are arranged in alphabetical order regard- less of rank, sex or branch of service. The list is as complete as such a record could be made at the present time. Whatever omission there may be is not due to lack of diligence on the part of those compiling it, but to lack of interest by those who have made no effort to get the facts regarding their service preserved. As no complete record was kept during the war of those who entered the service from Racine county, the task of seeking them out at this time has involved personal interviews with more than 3,500 men; copying lists of the vari- ous local boards and the History Committee of the Council of Defense; checking these against "honor rolls" of localities and institutions; ex- amining the records of various welfare organ- izations, and the files of newspapers for a period of three years back, and advertising ex- tensively for information regarding those en- titled to representation in these pages.
As a result of the thorough nature of the in- vestigation, it is likely that most of the names sought will be found in their proper places. There may be some published which are not entitled to be here, on account of their having been residents of other counties when they en- tered service, but it was felt that if an error was to be made in this respect it would be bet-
ter to give the service man the benefit of the doubt rather than to take the risk of omitting a name which deserved a place here.
The work of compiling these statistics was difficult, and it is not impossible that mistakes may have crept into some of the lines. A re- quest was published and widely circulated that those whose names were in the lists come to the publishers' office and read proof on their individual records, and this was done in hun- dreds of cases. Wherever errors were sus- pected, or information was lacking, several let- ters of inquiry were sent to the last known ad- dresses of those affected. In some instances no replies were received and the records had to be published in incomplete form. The use of the material collected by the County War History Committee of the Council of Defense was granted to the publishers of this work, and it proved of great assistance. The greatest difficulty was in gathering information relative to the volunteer soldiers and sailors who went to war from Racine. There were no local rec- ords of these men on file at any place, and the War Department at Washington had no way of classifying men by their original localities. Unless steps are continued to make sure that these men are all listed, the services of many of them will be forgotten by the community. The records of drafted men are probably com- plete, as their names were preserved by the local boards which inducted them into service.
In the individual records, it was the inten- tion to show what company, regiment or other basic unit the soldier served with. It was not deemed necessary to name organizations larger than a regiment, in the case of the army. If the designation of the regiment is given, it is not difficult to learn what brigade and division the regiment belonged to, if such information is desired.
Many organizations were not merged into divisions. In the case of infantry regiments in
458
RACINE COUNTY IN THE WORLD WAR
the divisions bearing any number above 20, the division can be found by dividing the number of the regiment by four. If the result is a traction take the next larger whole number. Thus, to find what division the 339th Infantry belonged to, divide 339 by 4, which gives 8434. The next larger whole number is 85, so the 339th Infantry was in the 85th division.
This did not hold true in case of the regular aimy divisions, numbered from 1 to 20. As many Racine men served in the first six of these, it may be noted that they were composed as follows:
First Division-16th, 18th, 26th and 28th Infantry regiments; 5th, 6th and 7th Field Artillery; 1st Trench Mortar Battery; 1st, 2nd and 3rd Machine Gun Battalions; 1st Engin- eers; 2nd Field Signal Battalion, 1st Ammuni- tion Train, 1st Sanitary Train, 1st Engineer Train, 1st Military Police Company and 1st Mobile Ordinance Repair Shop.
Second Division -- 9th and 23rd Infantry; 5th and 6th Marines; 12th, 15th and 17th Field Artillery; 2nd Trench Mortar Battery; 4th, 5th and 6th Machine Gun Battalions; 2nd Engin- eers; 1st Field Signal Battalion; 2nd Ammuni- tion, Supply, Engineer and Sanitary Trains and Military Police Company, and 2nd Mobile Ordinance Repair shop.
Third Division-4th, 7th, 30th and 38th In- fantry; 10th, 18th, 76th Field Artillery; 3rd Trench Mortar Battery; 7th, 8th and 9th Ma- chine Gun Battalions; 6th Engineers; 5th Field Signal Battalion; 3rd Ammunition, Supply and Sanitary Trains, and 6th Engineer Train; 3rd Mobile Ordinance Repair shop.
Fourth Division-39th, 47th, 58th and 59th Infantry; 13th, 16th and 77th Field Artillery; 4th Trench Mortar Battery; 10th, 11th and 12th Machine Gun Battalions; 4th Engineers; 8th Field Signal Battalion; 4th Ammunition, Sup- ply, Sanitary and Engineer Trains; 4th Mobile Ordinance Repair shop.
Fifth Division-6th, 11th, 60th and 61st In- fantry; 19th, 20th and 21st Field Artillery; 5th Trench Mortar Battery; 13th, 14th and 15th Machine Gun Battalion; 7th Engineers; 5th Field Signal Battalion; 5th Ammunition, Sani- tary, Engineer and Supply Trains; 5th Mobile Ordinance Repair shop.
Sixth Division-51st, 52nd, 43rd and 54th Infantry; 3rd, 11th and 78th Field Artillery; 6th Trench Mortar Battery; 16th, 17th and 18th
Machine Gun Battalions; 318th Engineers; 6th Field Signal Battalion; 6th Ammunition, Sup- ply, Engineer and Sanitary Trains.
Abbreviations have been used freely in pre- paring the records for the printer. This was necessary in order to conserve space. By us- ing the "key to abbreviations" given hereafter, it will be a simple matter to translate the ab- breviated words.
The following explanation is given as to the form in which each record is published, if com- plete :
1st Line: Name and last known address. If only a street number is given, it refers to the city of Racine.
2nd Line: (a) Organization or branch of the service. If the line begins with a letter, it is the name of the company, and this is fol- lowed by the number and designation of the regiment ("C 127 Inf" means Company C, 127th Infantry). Where the precise organiza- tion was not known, the branch of the service is given whenever possible.
(b) Rank at entry and at discharge from active service. Thus, "pvt-2nd Lt" means that the man entered service as a private and was discharged as a Second Lieutenant. Inter- mediate ranks were usually omitted as super- fluous. In almost every instance, promotions are made one grade at a time. Commissions in the reserves are not included in this line.
(c) Camp or camps at which the greater part of the soldiers' time was spent if he did not reach the front overseas; or the stations or ships, in case of members of the navy. Thus, "Grant Custer" would mean that the soldier was stationed at Camp Grant and Camp Custer during most of his service. "Newport News USS Louisiana" means that a sailor was sta- tioned at Newport News and later served on the Battleship Louisiana. Usually it proved impossible to cite all of the stations of men who were transferred a great many times.
3rd Line: Date of entering federal service and date of discharge. These are followed, in case of men who served overseas, by the dates of sailing and return. Thus, "July 15-17 May 19-19; Ovs. Mar. 4-18 May 12-19" means that the man went into U. S. service July 15, 1917 and was discharged May 19, 1919; that he sailed for overseas service on March 4, 1918 and returned to America on May 12, 1919. It will be noted that a dash is placed between the
469
RACINE COUNTY IN THE WORLD WAR
day of the month, and the last two figures of the number used to designate the year. "Ovs." is the abbreviation for "overseas."
In the case of National Guard troops the date of enlistment in state service is not given; only the date of joining the national forces.
4th Line: Battles and engagements, or de- fensive sectors in which the soldier saw front line service. Thus, "S M-A" means that he was in action in the battles of the Somme and the Meuse-Argonne." Other abbreviations will be found in the "key."
5th Line: Other information of interest, such as the fact that a man was wounded, killed, decorated, commissioned in the reserves, captured, etc.
Wherever dates or other essential data are missing, a double asterisk ( ** ) will indicate the omission.
It will be evident that some variations from this style has been necessary at times. For in- stance, if it was impossible to find a man's or- ganization and rank, the line which should give these facts is omitted, and the second line will then contain the information which otherwise will be in the third line.
For the benefit of the men themselves, and for future historians, it is requested that any- one noting serious errors or omissions, take the trouble to write the correct facts and mail them to the author of this work at Racine, so that they may be placed on record in the archives of the county.
