[[Category:28th Infantry Division, United States Army, World War I]] The 28th Infantry Division ( nicknamed the Keystone Division) is the oldest continuously serving division in the United States Army Formed initially from Pennsylvania National Guard units, the 28th Division was engaged with the enemy beginning in late June, 1918 south of the Marne River, and continuing through the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, September 26 - November 11, 1918. In response to World War I, the division was drafted into federal service on Aug. 5, 1917 After arriving in France, the 28th gained fame as a result of its gallant stand on July 15, 1918. As the division took up defensive positions along the Marne River east of Chateau-Thierry, the Germans commenced their attack with a fierce artillery bombardment. When the German assault collided with the main force of the 28ID, the fighting became bitter hand-to-hand combat. The 28ID repelled the German forces and decisively defeated their enemy. After the battle, Gen. John Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Force, visited the battlefield and declared that the 28ths soldiers are "Men of Iron" and named the 28th his "Iron Division." The 28ID developed a red keystone-shaped shoulder patch, officially adopted Oct. 27, 1918. During the war, it took a total of 14,139 casualties (2,165 killed and 11,974 wounded). 2 individuals received the Medal of Honor: Sergeant James I. Mestrovitch, Company C, 111th Infantry; and Major Joseph H. Thompson, Headquarters, 110th Infantry.

After a protracted struggle on the Siegfried Line on the Dragon's teeth (fortification) infested Westwall the Division crossed the Our River by bridge from Weiswampach, Luxembourg into Sevenig (Our), Germany, making it the first of the Allied armies to reach German soil. The 28th suffered excessive casualties that autumn in the costly and ill-conceived Battle of Hürtgen Forest. The 28th, which had sustained heavy casualties during the The Ardennes Offensive ( Battle of The Bulge), where they fought doggedly in place using all available personnel and threw off the enemy timetable before withdrawing. At the end of November1944 the 28th Division assisted French Forces in eliminating aGerman "pocket" of resistance formed Alsace region centered in the city of Colmar. By February 2, the 28th had cleared Colmar's surrounding areas and the French 5th Armored Division led the way into the town. On 9 February, the final organized German troops in Alsace were pushed back across the Rhine.

Alabama in The Great War '''
{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} [[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]]:Alabama Draftees: 74,000 :Killed: 2500 ----- '''Alabama National Guard'''
Alabama National Guard units, which had served in a military effort in Mexico against Francisco "Pancho" Villa's rebellion from October 1916 to April 1917, returned just in time to be mobilized for the European war. Initially, Alabama units protected public utilities and infrastructure, but in August they were mustered into federal service.
'''The 31st Infantry Division and the 42nd "Rainbow" Division'''
The First and Second Alabama Infantry entered the Army's Thirty-first Infantry Division, whereas the Fourth Alabama became the 167th Regiment of the Forty-second (Rainbow) Division. The 167th fought in the 1918 Aisne-Marne Offensive, and the Thirty-first remained at Camp Wheeler in Georgia. In addition to providing 5,000 National Guardsmen and 7,000 other volunteers, Alabama contributed approximately 74,000 white and black draftees, called "selectmen," to the Army. Most black troops were assigned to labor battalions, but two black units that trained in Alabama, Maryland's First Separate Negro Company and Ohio's Ninth Battalion of Infantry Colored, saw action with the Ninety-third Division under French command. More than 2,500 Alabamians were killed fighting in the fields of France. - See more at: http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/article/h-1545#sthash.25J68kvh.dpuf -----

The 37th organized on 26 August 1917 and departed for France on 23 Jun 1918. The 37th returned to the U.S. in March 1919 and was demobilized at Camp Sheridan. At the end of the war the camp became a demobilization center until it was abandoned 15 Mar 1919. -----

Arkansas in The Great War '''
{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} [[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]] :Arkansans who served in the war: 71,862 :Those who died: 2,183 (over half from illness) :Injured: 1,751 '''The Arkansas National Guard'''The United States declared war on Germany April 6, 1917, less than two months after the last Arkansas National Guard units completed mustering out from duty on the Mexican border. {{Image|file=Arkansas_in_The_Great_War-3.jpg |align=l |size=200 |caption='''Seal of the Arkansas National Guard''' }} The Arkansas National Guard was incorporated into the U.S. Army, and all men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one were required to register for military service. By June 5, 1917, a total of 149,207 Arkansans had registered (only about 600 eligible men failed to register); after the age limit was increased to forty-five the next year, 199,857 Arkansans had registered. Even before the United States entered the war, the fighting in Europe and elsewhere was affecting Arkansas. Armies needed cotton for uniforms and bandages, increasing the prices paid to cotton growers in Arkansas. Lead and zinc mining increased dramatically in Arkansas during the war years, and a factory in Helena (Phillips County) employed hundreds of workers who crafted rifle stocks from local hardwoods. The sudden enlistment of thousands of Arkansans into the military caused a labor shortage in Arkansas, even as new job opportunities were being provided in the construction of Camp Pike (now Camp Joseph T. Robinson) in North Little Rock (Pulaski County) and Eberts Field in Lonoke County. Colleges and universities in Arkansas struggled to remain open while most of their students went off to fight; Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs often provided the best source of income for institutions of higher education in Arkansas during the war years. Meanwhile, physical examinations of prospective soldiers revealed chronic health problems in Arkansas, including hookworm, pellagra, and venereal diseases. After the end of the war, several agencies would cooperate to try to reduce or eliminate these sicknesses in Arkansas and other states. -----
'''Camp Pike'''
{{Image|file=Pike-1327-1.jpg |align=l |size=150 |caption=[[Pike-1327|'''Zebulon M. Pike''']] }} Training of soldiers in Arkansas required larger facilities than the U.S. armed forces possessed at the time. The Little Rock Board of Commerce negotiated an arrangement that raised money to purchase and develop land north of the Arkansas River, now adjacent to North Little Rock. Three thousand acres were purchased outright, and another 10,000 acres were leased. Objections to the new camp included the prevalence of mosquitoes in the area, the lack of a sufficient supply of fresh water, and the lack of adequate transportation to the site. Many of these objections came from the leadership at Fort Logan H. Roots, which had opened on land closer to the Arkansas River in 1897. Money was raised to correct all these problems—at least $325,000, including $187,000 for land acquisition and $60,000 for leases of additional land—and the camp was built and operational before the end of 1917. Camp Pike was named for [[Pike-1327|General Zebulon Montgomery Pike]].

'''Eberts Field'''
Pulaski County hoped also to provide a home for the U.S. Army’s new flying school, but Lonoke County outbid Pulaski County for it. Eberts Field—named for Captain Melchior McEwan Eberts, an early Arkansas aviator—was built during the winter of 1917–18 and began training approximately 1,000 cadets by the spring of 1918. The first graduating class completed its instruction in the middle of November 1918, just days after the fighting ended. The school continued to operate through 1919 before it was decommissioned. ----- {{Image|file=Arkansas_in_The_Great_War-4.jpg |align=l |size=150 }}
Bond drives were conducted in Arkansas as in other states throughout the course of American involvement in the war. These bonds not only financed the nation’s war effort but also kept awareness of the war high in the minds of most citizens. Purchase of war bonds was described as a patriotic duty, and those who failed to purchase bonds were viewed with suspicion by their neighbors. {{Image|file=Arkansas_in_The_Great_War-5.jpg |align=r |size=m }}
The American Red Cross also began its activity in Arkansas during World War I. The first Arkansas chapter of the Red Cross was formed in Garland County in 1917, and a second chapter was created in northeast Arkansas the following year, but Red Cross activities took place in every part of the state. Contributions of money were solicited, and women gathered to prepare bandages and other supplies for the soldiers, including handkerchiefs, pajamas, and socks. African-American groups participated as completely and as enthusiastically as white groups in these activities. So popular was the work of the Red Cross that, in May 1918, a citizen of Saline County was publicly beaten for daring to speak against its efforts. {{Image|file=Arkansas_in_The_Great_War-6.jpg |align=l |size=245 }} Other Arkansans also suffered because of unpopular attitudes toward the war. Groups of Russellites (who would later adopt the name Jehovah’s Witnesses) refused to participate in the national war effort because of their concerns that loyalty to the United States might conflict with loyalty to God. In Walnut Ridge (Lawrence County), five Russellites were jailed and then taken from the jail, tarred, feathered, and driven out of town because of their refusal to support American war efforts. In July 1918, in an event that became known as the Cleburne County Draft War, shots were fired while local authorities tried to register Bliss Atkinsson for the draft at his father’s home. The Atkinssons and their friends retreated to the wilderness, where they hid while more than 200 officials (including soldiers from Camp Pike, who brought two machine guns) sought them. After a few days, the Atkinssons surrendered to authorities. According to records, 8,732 men in Arkansas either evaded the draft or later deserted. Suspicion of the state’s German Americans also led to a few isolated instances of violence. On April 13, 1917, local government officials arrived at the Subiaco Abbey in Logan County, seeking to destroy the abbey’s radio to prevent the monks from receiving messages from the government of Germany. The next year, in Lutherville (Johnson County), Pastor Roerig of the Lutheran Church was driven from his house and threatened by gunmen. Some Lutheran and Catholic congregations began worshiping in English rather than in German, and the German National Bank and German Trust Company in Little Rock changed their names to the American National Bank and American Trust Company. {{Image|file=Arkansas_in_The_Great_War-7.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption='''[[Davis-52142|Herman Davis]] Memorial, Manila''' }} War heroes from Arkansas included [[Davis-52142|Herman Davis]] of Manila (Mississippi County), who earned several awards for his actions in France and is memorialized by Herman Davis State Park. Oscar Franklin Miller of Franklin County, who was included with Davis on General John J. Pershing’s list of 100 heroes from World War I, won the Medal of Honor, as did Marcellus Chiles and John Pruitt. John McGavock Grider of Osceola (Mississippi County)—for whom the airport in Pine Bluff (Jefferson County) is named—and Field Eugene Kindley of Pea Ridge (Benton County) were important fliers in the Army Air Force during the war. Because the United States entered the war nearly three years after it began, American casualties in the war were far fewer than those of European nations. From Arkansas, 71,862 soldiers served in the war; according to registration cards, 18,322 of these soldiers were African Americans and two were Native Americans. Out of these soldiers, 2,183 died (more than half from illnesses rather than war injuries), and 1,751 were injured. An indirect result of the war led to far more deaths, however. Relocation of thousands of people caused the spread of an influenza virus known as the Spanish flu. Outbreaks of flu at Camp Pike prompted quarantine of the camp, but the disease still spread throughout the state. Approximately 7,000 Arkansans died of the flu in 1918, more than triple the number of lives lost in the war. ---- {{Image|file=The_Great_War_Resource_page-2.png |align=l |size=130 |caption=' }}{{clear}} '''Resources''' *Allen, Desmond Walls.

Arguably, the RAN's finest moment was when ''HMAS Sydney'' put Germany's commercial raider ''SMS Emden'' out of commission in the Indian Ocean. '''Australian Flying Corps''' The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Flying_Corps Australian Flying Corps (AFC)] was the branch of the AIF responsible for operating aircraft during The Great War. It comprised four operational Squadrons (Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4) and four training Squadrons (Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 8). The first saw action in the Middle East and Mesopotamia (Iraq) from 1916 whilst the other three were deployed to the Western Front in 1917 and 1918. A total of 880 officers and 2,840 other ranks served in the AFC, of whom only 410 served as pilots and 153 as observers. Casualties included 175 dead, 111 wounded, 6 gassed and 40 captured. Pilots from the AFC's four operational squadrons claimed 527 enemy aircraft destroyed or driven down. The AFC produced 57 flying aces (i.e., had shot down five or more enemy aircraft); [[Cobby-37|Arthur Cobby]] being the leading ace with 29 victories. [[McNamara-2397|Frank McNamara]] (later Air Vice Marshal), of No.1 Squadron, received the only Victoria Cross awarded to an Australian airman during the war. Other AFC pilots included [[Smith-199243|Ross]] and [[Smith-199246|Keith Smith]], [[McGinness-190|Paul McGinness]] and [[Fysh-201|Hudson Fysh]] (Qantas), [[Ulm-36|Charles Ulm]] and [[Williams-115579|Dick Williams]] ('father' of the RAAF). Some later-famous Australian aviators, such as [[Kingsford-Smith-1|Charles Kingsford Smith]] and [[Hinkler-3|Bert Hinkler]], served with Britain's Royal Flying Corps. Following the war, upon the demobilisation of the AIF, the AFC was disbanded and replaced by the Australian Air Corps (AAC) of the Commonwealth Military Force. In 1921, the AAC became the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). {{Image|file=Killed_in_Action-2.jpg |align= |size=360 |caption='''Australia and New Zealand ANZACs''' }} {{Image|file=Photos-320.jpg |align=l |size=60 |caption= }} {{Image|file=Photos-724.jpg |align=r |size=60 |caption= }} {{Image|file=Images_in_the_Great_War-12.jpg |align=c |size=200 |caption=Battle Ypres. }} {{Image|file=Images_in_the_Great_War-31.jpg |align=c |size=300 |caption=Anzacs in France. | label = An outdoors group portrait of unidentified members of the original staff of the 3rd Australian General Hospital. - AWM Accession NumberE05065 = https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C970739 = }}{{Clear}}

California in The Great War '''
{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} [[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]]Draftees from California served with the 40th, 42nd, or 91st Divisions and they trained at either Camp Kearny in San Diego or Camp Lewis in the state of Washington. Divisions consisted of one thousand officers and 27,000 men. Two brigades formed the infantry, with two regiments assigned to each, including an artillery brigade and a battalion of engineers. This format remained consistent regardless of whether it was the Regular, National Guard, or National Army. It also made the American divisions approximately twice as large as Allied or German divisions.
'''Camp Fremont'''
{{Image|file=Fremont-14.jpg |align=l |size=200 |caption=[[Fremont-14|'''General John C. Fremont''']] }} Camp Fremont was a U.S. Army World War I National Guard Mobilization and Training Camp first established in 1917 near Palo Alto, San Mateo County, California. Named Camp Fremont in G.O. 95, 18 Jul 1917, after Major General John C. Fremont, an early California explorer. Camp Fremont served as a training site for the National Guard's 41st Infantry Division, which included soldiers from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming. The 41st Division was later moved to Camp Greene, where it completed its training before departing for fighting in France. {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-34.jpg |align=r |size=200 |caption='''Major General William S. Graves''' }} Major General William S. Graves assumed command of the 8th Infantry Division at Camp Fremont in 1918. Slated for combat in France, the 8th Division was later assigned the mission of fighting in Russia during the Siberian Intervention. Camp Fremont was also home to the 332nd Auxiliary Remount Depot, part of the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps. The depot was authorized 5,000 animals, and averaged about 2,300. Remount depots were organized to procure, train and condition horses and mules, and then dispatch them to the units that required them. After the war, the post was ordered salvaged on 19 Dec 1918 and abandoned in September 1919. The land reverted to the previous owners and the buildings were sold at auction. -----
'''Camp Kearny'''
{{Image|file=Stephen_W._Kearny.jpg |align=l |size=200 |caption=[[Kearny-2|'''Stephen Watts Kearny''']] }} Camp Kearny was a World War I U.S. Army training Camp established in 1917 on present day Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego County, California. Named Camp Kearny after Brigadier General Stephen Watts Kearny. {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-35.jpg |align=r |size=200 |caption='''Major General Frederick Smith Strong''' }} The first commander of the camp was Major General Frederick S. Strong, who formed the 40th U.S. Infantry Division and initiated troop training. General Strong remained with the division until it was demobilized. The 40th was formed on 25 Aug 1917, trained and then arrived in France in August 1918. The division was designated as a depot division early in November 1918 to furnish replacements for losses in other divisions. Two units of the division saw combat but the division as a whole did not. The 40th Division Headquarters returned to the U.S. in February 1919 and was demobilized on 20 Apr 1919 at Camp Kearny. At the end of the war the camp became a demobilization and convalescent center before closing as a training camp on 31 Oct 1920. -----
'''The Presidio'''
{{Image|file=California_in_The_Great_War-4.jpg |size=500 |caption='''63rd US Infantry Regiment at the Presidio''' }} The Presidio of San Francisco was first established as a fortification in 1776 by Spanish Captain Juan Bautista on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula in present day San Francisco County, California. Subsequently occupied by Mexican troops (1822-1846) and then American troops (1846-1995). {{Image|file=Pershing-6-1.jpg |align=r |size=200 |caption='''General Pershing's Burned out'''
'''Quarters at the Presidio''' }} General "Black Jack" Pershing led a punitive expedition from the Presidio against the Mexican bandit Pancho Villa along the Mexican border in 1914. While he was away, General Pershing's wife and daughters perished when his Presidio quarters caught fire. A memorial and a post flag pole mark the spot where the house stood. The memorial plaque contains an image of his quarters. General Pershing and his troops returned to the Presidio in May 1917 and he went on to lead the American Expeditionary forces in Europe during World War I. The Presidio again served as a staging area for troops headed for the conflict in France. Temporary cantonments were built to house the troops. The North cantonment contained enough single story frame and tarpaper barracks to house 6,000 troops and tent camps handled any overflow. An officer training school was established in 1917 on the Presidio and the first class of 2,500 candidates produced only 1,000 candidates recommended for reserve commissions. Letterman Hospital was again used to treat the returning sick and wounded. The hospital treated 18,700 during the war and another 12,400 in the year after the war. A large set of wards and barracks were built to accommodate the huge number of patients. ---- '''Resources''' *[http://californiamilitaryhistory.org/HistoryWWI.html California Military History.org] - California and the First World War *[https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/California_Military_Records Family Search] - California Military Records *[http://www.archives.gov/research/military/ww1/draft-registration/california.html Archives.gov] - World War I Draft Registration Cards Microfilm Roll List, M1509: California (157 rolls) *[http://www.usaww1.com/World-War-I-Pilots-from-California.php4 USA WW1.com] - World War I Pilots from California *[http://www.wwvets.com/ World War I Vets.com] - United States Veterans of the Great War *[http://ww1ha.org/the-first-submarine-war/ U2 boats]

[[Category: World War I]] [[Category: Categorization Project]] This page is managed by [[:Project: Categorization]] in collaboration with [[:Project: The Great War 1914-1918]] under the auspices of [[:Project: Military and War]]. == Overview == '''Category Tree Level 5 World War I''' is a blueprint of the permanent upper-level categories in the World War I category at [to be updated when finalised] 29 January 2016. Categories in this list should not be moved from their top-level position in the category tree, unless by consensus through the project and/or G2G discussions. No new categories should be created or moved into this category without discussion consensus. === How To Start a G2G Discussion === G2G discussions about changes to this top-level category can be started from this page by following these steps: # [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/ask?cat=2 Start a G2G discussion with this link] # in the box for category select "Policy and Style" # in the box for WikiTree ID/URL put '''Space:Category_Tree_Level_5:_Military_History''' # in the box for Surnames and project tags put '''categorization''' and '''military_and_war''' and '''great_war''' ==Military History Category Structure== The primary sub groups will be in the format of: # [Country], World War I (roman numeral I, not number 1) # [Status], World War I (status of Killed in Action, Prisoner of War, etc) # Conflicts, World War I (which will list battles, actions, campaigns, etc) # Cemeteries, World War I (listing cemeteries dedicated to World War I) # Items that span all countries, such as Active Duty Military Children, Experiences, Heroes *[[:Category: Categories]]; **[[:Category: Military]] ***[[:Category: Military History]]; ****[[:Category: Wars]]; *****[[:Category: World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Anzacs, World War I]]; (rename to Anzacs, World War I) *****#[[:Category: World War I Cemeteries]]; (rename to Cemeteries, World War I) *****#[[:Category: World War I, Active Duty Military Children]]; (rename to Active Duty Military Children, World War I) *****#[[:Category: Australia, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Austria-Hungary, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: World War I, Aviators]]; (rename to Aviators, World War I) *****#[[:Category: Belgium, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Brazil, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Bulgaria, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Canada, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: China, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: World War I Conflicts]]; *****#[[:Category: World War I, Experiences]]; (rename to Experiences, World War I) *****#[[:Category: France, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Germany, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Greece, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: World War I, Heroes]]; (rename to Heroes, World War I) *****#[[:Category: India, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Italy, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Japan, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Killed in Action, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Liberia, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Missing in Action, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Montenegro, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: New Zealand, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Ottoman Empire, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Prisoners of War, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Portugal, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Romania, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Russia, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Serbia, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: United Kingdom, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: United States of America, World War I]]; *****#[[:Category: Wounded in Action, World War I]]; ===Alternative Pathways=== *[[:Category: Categories]]; **[[:Category: World History]]; ***[[:Category: Military History]]; ****[[:Category: Australia, Military History]]; ( [Country] Military History) *****[[:Category: World War I]]; === Category Style === A top-level category should follow the style guidelines, so avoid using CSS and other non-wiki code.
[https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/195390/should-project-and-category-pages-adhere-style-guidelines Should project and category pages adhere to style guidelines?] November 16, 2015Do not use level 1 headers (
) for text in category pages. Level 1 headers convert to
and there should only be one h1 tag on any page. The page heading '''Category: Military History''' uses the h1 tag. ==== Top Level Template ==== This category and all of its subcategories should contain the template, '''
''' in the upper part of the category page.
[https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/145863/have-you-seen-the-new-template-for-high-level-categories?show=145863#q145863 Have you seen the new template for high level categories?] May 7, 2015This template displays the folloowing box: {{Top_Level}} This means that upper-level categories should primarily be for grouping together the related lower subcategories, and should ''NOT'' contain ''any'' person profiles. Instead, those person profiles should only be categorized at a lower, narrower level.
[https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/159505/tiptoe-ing-through-the-categories?show=159505#q159505 Tiptoe-ing ..."might be a good or bad idea to re-think the prohibition on adding people to higher level categories."] Jun 24, 2015In some cases some '''free-space pages''' might only be best categorized at the top level (For example, this page). ==== Category Definitions ==== Each category should have a small bit of definition, appropriate links, and/or a template to describe what it is for or to direct viewers to related alternative categories. But the amount of description, graphics, etc. should be limited within reason, so as not to detract from its main purpose as a category listing of related narrower sub-categories. If much more lengthy detail is desired (such as the history of a place), then create a free-space page on the topic instead, and categorize it! ==== Subcategory Disambiguation Section==== A section may be needed to explain what subcategories contain. For example: * == Other Languages == Parallel or mirrored category trees are to be developed in other major languages.
[https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/180102/understanding-categories-mirroring-parallel-hierarchies?show=180102#q180102 Understanding Italian Place Categories - language mirroring and parallel hierarchies] Sep 15, 2015Those category trees should be maintained to follow the same categorization pattern as the English category tree.
[https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/195826/multi-language-category-categories-categorized-category Should the multi-language Category:Categories really be categorized to Category Help?] November 17, 2015Each other language tree does not need to be as complete as the English tree, but where other language categories exist, they should be sub-categorized the same as the English tree, whenever possible. Differences between the language category trees should be resolved through discussion as needed. == Hierarchy Development Notes == *Does [[:Category: Anzacs, World War I]] belong in here or under Category: World War I, Australia and Category: World War I, New Zealand? [[Thompson-14289|Thompson-14289]] 00:51, 29 January 2016 (EST) *Why do some category names have the name of the conflict (comma) descriptor and some don't, eg, World War I Aviators vs World War I, WIA or World War I, Active Duty Military Children? [[Thompson-14289|Thompson-14289]] 00:51, 29 January 2016 (EST) - categories have been renamed to include the comma [[McDonald-8171]] 10:08 20 February 2016 (EST) *Should this category have a subcategory for World War I POWs?[[Thompson-14289|Thompson-14289]] 00:57, 29 January 2016 (EST) - categories for KIA, MIA, WIA and POW and have been created [[McDonald-8171]] 08:59 20 February 2016 (EST) *Should this category have a subcategory for World War I POW Concentration Camps?[[Thompson-14289|Thompson-14289]] 00:57, 29 January 2016 (EST) - World War I, POW Camps is a subcategory of World War I, POW.

[[Category:Colorado Veterinary Corps]] ===History=== [http://veterinarycorps.amedd.army.mil/history/ww1/hospital.htm Veterinary Corps Hospital] "Veterinary Corps recruiting poster World War IThe U.S. Army Veterinary Corps was established 3 June 1916 with the National Defense Act. At the beginning of World War I there were 72 veterinary officers and no enlisted men. Within 18 months this grew to 2,312 officers and 16,391 enlisted personnel. This rapid growth in the middle of the war required the establishment of recruitment, training, policies, procedures and equipment. The American Expeditionary Force required large numbers of animals to accomplish a variety of missions ranging from cavalry mounts, artillery transport to logistical supply and ambulance service. The rugged and muddy French terrain was better suited to animals than gas-powered engines. This mule wagon is an example of one of the many ways draft animals were utilized in World War I. General Hagood, Chief of Staff of the Services of Supply, placed the number of horses and mules in the A.E.F. at 165,366 as of 30 October 1918. Disease detection, prevention and treatment played an important part of the Veterinary Corps officer work. Contagious disease accounted for the following losses according to one account: Mange-47 WW1 Working Horse and Soldier wearing their pro-masks. Gas attacks were deadly on both soldiers and animals. Masks and other protective measures were developed to provide force health protection. Non-contagious diseases accounted for the following loses: Wounds and Lameness 2.06 --percent Mustard Gas-- .03 The total losses were extremely high. Over thirty percent of horses and mules were sick or injured resulting in losses of over 55,000 animals. Veterinary Corps officers and enlisted personnel transported those that were well enough to treat back to Veterinary Hospitals for treatment. Walking, horse drawn ambulance, or motor horse ambulance did transport. Many with injuries could be transported by train. The S.O.S. expected an Army Veterinary Hosptial with a total strength of 68 men to transport 20,000 disabled animals an average of 75 miles in a 47 day period. At the field Veterinary Hospitals, teams of Veterinary Corps officers performed surgeries and then placed the animals in recovery and convalescence wards until they recovered. Those recovering could then be sent back into the field." ==Sources==

'''Connecticut Army National Guard and the 102nd Infantry'''
The Connecticut National Guard was called up on March 28, 1917, at which time the 1st Infantry Regiment of Connecticut and the 2nd Infantry Regiment were combined to form the [[Space:102nd Infantry, 26th Division|102nd Infantry Regiment]], at this time the unit became Company A of the 102nd Infantry Regiment. The 102nd Infantry Regiment fought with the [[Space:26th “Yankee” Division in World War I|26th “Yankee” Division]] in World War I. The 102 Infantry left for France on September 7, 1917. Company A took part in many campaigns, among them Il De France, Champange-Mare, Aisene-Marne, Oise_Marnne, St. Michiel, Muse Argone, and Lorraine. At the Battle of Seicheprey, the 102nd Infantry met the crack German Guards in overwhelming strength and stopped the German attack cold. At the start of this attack, the Germans sent a raiding party to kill or capture the Regimental Staff as they sat down for supper in the town, two cooks from Company A who were cooking for the staff, spotted the Germans sneaking up to the building, one cook threw boiling water at the raiders thus giving the alarm, and another cook named Edward Shaffer charged the Germans with his meat cleaver killing two of them. The 102nd Infantry Band who was providing security guard, killed or captured the remaining German raiders saving the staff who could coordinate the counter attack, (A painting of this action hangs in the102nd Infantry Museum in the New Haven Armory.) During the counter attack Company A and Headquarters Company 1st Battalion 102nd Infantry were decorated by the French Government for this action. -----

On Jan. 7, 1918, U. S. Senator Willard Saulsbury announced that the men of the First Delaware were to be reassembled in their own unit called the Pioneer Infantry. By the middle of the month, it had arrived at Camp Dix, New Jersey to begin training. On August 21, 1918 embarkation orders were received, and on the 23rd of August Governor John G. Townsend Jr, visited the boys at Camp Dix to pay an official farewell to the sons of Delaware. Most of the 59th Regiment was sent towards the front from Foulain on or about September 27 during the Argonne offensive.

Pennsylvania in The Great War '''
[[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]]{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} More than 297,000 Pennsylvanians served as soldiers in the Great War, with 10,278 combat deaths, and 26,252 wounded. The American Expeditionary Forces list of those Missing in Action includes 449 names from Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania was also part of the Fourth Naval District, extending from Barnegat Light, New Jersey to Chincoteague Inlet in Virginia, including Delaware Bay and the Delaware River. The exact number of Pennsylvanians who served in the Navy is not known, but it is estimated that from Philadelphia alone, 10,500 men and women served. At the time of the First World War, the U.S. population was far more concentrated in the East than it is today. In the 1910 Census, Pennsylvania had been ranked the second most populous state. Many Pennsylvanians remain in France, buried in military cemeteries maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission. http://www.worldwar1centennial.org/pennsylvania-ww1-centennial-home.html mailto:pennsylvania@WorldWar1Centennial.org?subject=Pennsylvania%20World%20War%20One%20query See: Pennsylvania First World War Centenial Project at (http://www.worldwar1centennial.org/pennsylvania-ww1-centennial-home.html) you can use the following template on a profile to display an in=mage with text, and to add profile to a category.

{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} [[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]]Jan. 31, 1917 Germany, in its final effort to win the war against the Allied Powers, announced publicly it was resuming unrestricted warfare. (the U-boats. United States broke off diplomatic relations with Germany. However soon a German U-boat sank the American liner Housatonic. A British steamer was able to rescue the 25 Americans on board! This led states on the coast of the United States to start worrying a U boat might attack their ships or even fishing boats. Shortly 4 more Merchant marine vessels were sunk. {{Image|file=Images_in_the_Great_War-27.jpg |align=c |size=250 |caption=U-995.}} Feb. 24, 1917, the release of a disturbing the “Zimmermann Note,” a coded telegram from German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann to Count Johann von Bernstorff, German ambassador to Mexico. This was deciphered which stated Mexico should be requested to enter the war as one of Germany's allies. In return, Germany planned to return Mexico's lost territories of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona to Mexico.

A yellow-green cloud drifted slowly towards their line. This gas would cause the victim to violently cough and choke. Wind conditions had to be evaluated as if wind blew against the people releasing gas from cylinders could blow it back upon the them. *April 22 – May 25, 1915 - 2nd Battle of Ypres site of first use of chlorine gas. ---- '''Phosgene''' Phosgene did not cause much coughing, so that many of both German and Allied armies inhaled it. Result was a delayed bad effect: apparently healthy soldiers were taken down with phosgene gas poisoning up to 48 hours after inhalation. ---- '''"White star"''' mixture of phosgene and chlorine was tried on the Battle of the Somme: the chlorine content supplied the necessary vapour with which to carry the phosgene. ---- '''Mustard Gas''' Germany next tried another gas weaponry against the Russians at Riga in September 1917: '''mustard gas''' (Dichlorodiethylsulfide) (or Yperite) contained in artillery shells. It causes blisters internally and externally.

{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} [[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]]Jan. 31, 1917 Germany, in its final effort to win the war against the Allied Powers, announced publicly it was resuming unrestricted warfare. (the U-boats. United States broke off diplomatic relations with Germany. However soon a German U-boat sank the American liner," Housatonic". A British steamer was able to rescue the 25 Americans on board! This led states on the coast of the United States to start worrying a U boat might attack their ships or even fishing boats. Shortly 4 more Merchant marine vessels were sunk. {{Image|file=Images_in_the_Great_War-27.jpg |align=c |size=250 |caption=U-995.}} Feb. 24, 1917, the release of a disturbing the “Zimmermann Note,” a coded telegram from German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann to Count Johann von Bernstorff, German ambassador to Mexico. This was deciphered which stated Mexico should be requested to enter the war as one of Germany's allies.

'''Fort McPherson''' Fort McPherson was an U.S. Army military base located in East Point, Georgia, on the southwest edge of Atlanta, Georgia. Named after Major General James Birdseye McPherson, this fort was founded by the U.S. Army in September 1885. However, this site, had been in use by military units since 1835, and it was used as a Confederate Army base during the American Civil War. During World War I, Fort McPherson was used as a camp for Imperial German Navy prisoners of war and as a training site for the Active Army and Georgia National Guard. A rifle Range was operated along the ridge where current Stanton road now exists. The Deploying officers and NCOs surveyed the local civil war entrenchments parallel to the Railroad along Utoy Creek to learn about trench warfare. '''Camp Gordon''' Camp Gordon was a World War I Camp first established in 1917 north of Atlanta at Chamblee, DeKalb County, Georgia. Named Camp Gordon after Lieutenant General John Brown Gordon CSA, Confederate General and Governor of Georgia. Camp Gordon served as the training camp for the 82nd U.S. Infantry Division which was organized at Camp Gordon on 25 Aug 1917 under Major General Eben Swift. The 82nd began deployment to Europe on 25 Apr 1918 and completed it on 1 Jun 1918. While in Europe the 82nd had 8,300 casualties. After the war the 82nd was demobilized at Camp Upton 27 May 1919. Camp Gordon was ordered abandoned in 1920 and disposed of in September 1921. ----- '''Camp Hancock''' Camp Hancock was a U.S. Army World War I National Guard Mobilization and Training Camp first established in 1917 near Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia. Named Camp Hancock in G.O. 95, 18 Jul 1917, after Major General Winfield Scott Hancock (Cullum 1223), U.S. Civil War and Mexican War General. The first commander of the camp was Major General Charles M. Clement who formed the 28th U.S. Infantry Division from Pennsylvania National Guard units. The 28th entered Federal service 5 Aug 1917 and began departing for France on 21 Apr 1918. The 28th distinguished itself in combat, fighting sometimes hand to hand. The 28th suffered heavy casualties, including 2,531 killed, 13,746 wounded and 726 captured. The 28th returned to the U.S. and was demobilized in 17 May 1919 at Camp Dix, New Jersey. At the end of the war the camp became a demobilization center until it was abandoned 27 Mar 1919 and turned over to a caretaker detachment. ----- '''Camp Wheeler''' Camp Wheeler was a U.S. Army World War I National Guard Mobilization and Training Camp first established in 1917 near Macon, Bibb County, Georgia. Named Camp Wheeler in G.O. 95, 18 Jul 1917, after Lieutenant General Joseph Wheeler (Cullum 1843), Confederate General during the U.S. Civil War and later a Brigadier General in the U.S. Army during the Spanish American War. The first commander of the camp was Major General Francis J. Kernan (Cullum 2896) who formed the 31st U.S. Infantry Division and initiated troop training. The 31st arrived in October 1917 and departed for France on 1918-10-21. The 31st returned to the U.S. and was demobilized in Dec 1918. When the 31st arrived in France it was skeletonized and and its members were dispersed as replacements for other units leaving only a token number of troops in the 31st. The 31st did not see combat as a unit. At the end of the war the camp became a demobilization center until it was abandoned in April 1919. ----- '''Fort Oglethorpe''' Fort Oglethorpe was built as a U.S. Army cavalry training post between 1902 and 1904 in Catoosa County, Georgia. Named after Georgia's early leader, James Oglethorpe. Fort Oglethorpe (1) in Savannah had its name changed back to Fort Jackson (3) in 1905 to avoid confusion. The U.S. Civil War Chickamauga Battlefield borders Fort Oglethorpe on the south and during World War I the post expanded southward into the park. Three separate camps were established and many temporary buildings sprung up among the cannons and monuments on the battlefield. Camp Greenleaf was an Army Medical and Sanitary Corps training camp. Camp McLean was an officer training camp. By the end of the war, the post had expanded to over 1,600 buildings and had mobilized over 60,000 officers and enlisted personnel. On 4 Jul 1919 post was designated the official headquarters of the 6th U.S. Cavalry, a designation that lasted until 1942. ----- '''Resources''' *[http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/world-war-i-georgia Georgia Encyclopedia.org] - World War I in Georgia *[http://www.todayingeorgiahistory.org/content/world-war-i-georgia Today in Georgia History.org] - World War I in Georgia *[http://georgiahistory.com/education-outreach/online-exhibits/online-exhibits/three-centuries-of-georgia-history/twentieth-century/global-conflict/world-war-one/ Georgia History.com] - World War I *[http://www.archives.gov/research/military/ww1/draft-registration/georgia.html Archives.gov] - World War I Draft Registration Cards Microfilm Roll List, M1509: Georgia (98 rolls) *[https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Georgia_Military_Records Family Search]- Georgia Military Records *[http://www.slideshare.net/mrsheardnfms/wwi-45066169 slideshare.net] - WWI (and Georgia's Contributions) *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Gordon Wikipedia] - Fort Gordon *[http://www.raogk.org/georgia-genealogy/ga-military-records/ raogk.org] - Georgia Military Records Research Guide *[Timeline?gclid=CjwKEAiAy7SzBRD_lv7quOnr6XUSJAAOLkW6kVgBgNa1EmnktLVWybEyvRbrOtTg874skro_BcffwxoCqe3w_wcB Interactive world war I Timeline]

Trench warfare was a new type of warfare. {{Image|file=Images_in_the_Great_War.jpg |align=l |size=230 |caption=In the Trenches. }}{{Image|file=Images_in_the_Great_War-13.jpg |align=r |size=260 |caption=Digging trenches }} {{Clear}} {{Image|file=Images_in_the_Great_War-16.jpg |align=c |size=250 |caption=German hand grenades. }}{{Clear}} ---- '''GASES used in World War I''' {{Image|file=Images_in_the_Great_War-9.jpg |align=c |size=425 |caption=Gassed. }} *In the first month of the war, August 1914, French fired tear-gas grenades (xylyl bromide) against the Germans. *'''Chlorine gas''' - used by Germans against French. A yellow-green cloud drifted slowly towards their line. This gas would cause the victim to violently cough and choke. Wind conditions had to be evaluated as if releasing gas from cylinders could blow back upon the military using this. *'''Phosgene''' did not cause much coughing, so that many of both German and Allied armies inhaled it. Result was a delayed effect: apparently healthy soldiers were taken down with phosgene gas poisoning up to 48 hours after inhalation. *'''"White star"''' mixture of phosgene and chlorine was tried on the Battle of the Somme: the chlorine content supplied the necessary vapour with which to carry the phosgene. *Germany next tried another gas weaponry against the Russians at Riga in September 1917: '''mustard gas''' (or Yperite) contained in artillery shells. It causes blisters internally and externally. Protection against mustard gas proved more difficult than against either chlorine or phosgene gas. {{Image|file=Images_in_the_Great_War-5.jpg |align=l |size=190 }} {{Image|file=Images_in_the_Great_War-12.jpg |align=c |size=150 |caption= }}{{Clear}} {{Image|file=Images_in_the_Great_War-8.jpg |align=c |size=330 |caption= }}{{clear}} {{Image|file=The_Great_War_Resource_page-2.png |align=c |size=300 |caption= }}{{clear}} -------------- '''SOURCES:''' *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Germany_during_World_War_I German, World War I] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnip_Winter Turnips to eat] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Battle_of_the_Marne First Battle of Marne] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Somme Battle of the Somme] *[http://www.worldwar1.com/arm010.htm World War I] *[http://www.firstworldwar.com/weaponry/gas.htm First World War] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce#/media/File:Christmas_Truce Christmas Truce 1914] '''WikiTree Resources/Profiles'''

Iowa in The Great War '''
{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} [[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]]The official records show that 114,242 Iowans served in the armed forces during WW I. :Of those, 3,576 died. '''The Iowa National Guard and the 168th Infantry Regiment''' The 42nd "Rainbow" Division Seventeen National Guard divisions were assigned to the AEF during World War I. One of the first National Guard divisions to reach France was the 42nd (Rainbow) Division. The 42nd Division was a composite division made up of soldiers from many states. It included Iowa’s 168th Infantry Regiment. Major General William Mann commanded the Division. Major, later General of the Army, Douglas MacArthur was his chief of staff. It was MacArthur who first suggested "Rainbow" as the Division’s name. The 168th Infantry was commanded, in turn, by Colonel Ernest Bennett and Colonel Matthew Tinley. {{Image|file=Iowa_in_The_Great_War-4.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption='''168th Infantry Regiment distinctive unit insignia''' }} The 168th Infantry was a consolidated force made up of three prewar regiments of the Iowa National Guard infantry. It was the only Iowa National Guard unit to participate, intact, in the hostilities in France. Many other Iowa Guardsmen, most notably those serving in the 34th Division, were sent overseas. They were sent as replacements, however, and saw active service with the organizations to which they were assigned. The 42nd Division saw its first action at Luneville in February of 1918. During the next ten months, the Division took part in engagements at Baccart, Esperance-Souaine, Champagne-Marne, Aisne-Marne, Essey-Pannes, and the final great Allied offensive at Meuse-Argonne. The Champagne-Marne offensive was one of the most decisive battles of the World War I. Fought over a four-day period (July 15-18, 1918), it was a daring attempt by the German General Staff to drive a wedge between the British and the French and end the war before the bulk of American forces could arrive in France. Several American divisions already in France, including the 42nd, played an important role in stopping the German attack. As one soldier of the 168th wrote "By noon of July 15, the German offensive had been halted, but both sides maintained a terrific artillery duel until the 18th. By October of 1918, the eve of the decisive Meuse-Argonne offensive, the 42nd Division had established a sterling reputation, not only among Allied commanders but among German commanders as well. On October 9, the Weekly Summary of Information of the German Group of Armies which held the front from the Argonne to the Meuse gave the following assessment: "The engagement of the 42nd Division is expected soon. World War I 168th Homecoming It is in splendid fighting condition and is counted among the best American divisions." (Reilly) This assessment proved to be correct. By the end of the war, the 42nd Division had reached Sedan. This was the northernmost point attained by the American First Army in its advance toward Germany. At the conclusion of hostilities, the 42nd Division was credited with 164 days of actual combat. The only American divisions to exceed this were the 1st, with 220 days, and the 26th, with 193 days. The Division suffered a 30.6% casualty rate with 2,810 killed and 11, 873 wounded. Of this total, the 168th Infantry suffered over 700 killed and 3,100 wounded. The men of the 168th also received numerous awards for heroism, including the Italian Croce di Guerra (1), the Belgian Croix de Guerre (1), the Belgian Ordre de Couronne (2), the French Croix de Guerre (74), the French Legion of Honor (5), the French Military Medal (20), the Distinguished Service Cross (4), and the Distinguished Service Medal (1). ------- [http://freepages.military.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cacunithistories/camp_dodge.htm '''Camp Dodge'''] {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-11.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption='''Major General Grenville M. Dodge''' }} Northwest of Des Moines, a small National Guard encampment called Camp Dodge would play a key role in helping to train a rapidly expanding national army for the Great War. Camp Dodge was established in 1909 as a training site for the Iowa Militia. It was named for Major General Grenville M. Dodge of Council Bluffs, Iowa’s most famous Civil War commander. Originally constructed on a 78-acre tract of land, the post had been expanded to 570 acres by 1917. On June 15, 1917, a delegation from the U. S. Army Selection Board chose Camp Dodge as one of sixteen regional training camps for the National Army of the United States. Expanded, through lease options, to 6,400 acres, Camp Dodge provided initial military training to recruits (both volunteers and draftees) from Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, and North and South Dakota. {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-12.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption='''Major General Edward H. Hinkley''' }} Camp Dodge became the headquarters for the 88th Division, commanded by Major General, Edward Plummer. "Initially, the 88th Division was comprised of 27,000 men from ages 21 to 30, including 8,000 Iowans. The remaining troops came from Minnesota, the Dakotas and central Illinois. War Department statistics later revealed that seventy percent of the recruits had been drafted and that eighteen percent were foreign born. At Camp Dodge, more than 10,000 soldiers were hospitalized with the Spanish Influenza, and 702 of them died. Miraculously, the emergency ended as quickly as it had begun. ----- '''Fort Des Moines''' {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-15.jpg |align=r |size=200 |caption='''Elder Watson Diggs''' }} In 1917, Fort Des Moines became the first Officer Candidate School for African American men in the U. S. Army. There were 1,000 black college graduates and faculty from Howard, Tuskegee, Harvard and Yale universities. Two hundred fifty non-commissioned officers (sergeants) from the army’s four black standing units—the 9th and 10th Cavalry “Buffalo Soldiers” and the 24th and 25th Infantry—would also attend the camp. (The term Buffalo Soldiers was used to identify all-black military units that were formed after the Civil War in 1866). The 1,250 candidates made up the 17th Provisional Training Regiment. All of these men served with the 92nd Division in France and many of them became prominent in civilian affairs after the war. Following this class, 104 doctors and 12 dentists earned commissions as the first African American medical officers in the Army. ------ {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-13.jpg |align=l |size=150 |caption='''Private Merle D. Hay''' }} Private Merle D. Hay was an Iowa native from Glidden. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in May of 1917. He was sent to Fort Bliss, Texas, and then to France. He and two other soldiers were killed on November 3 during a German invasion. Private Hay was the first Iowan killed in World War I. {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-14.jpg |align=r |size=150 |caption='''Marion G. Crandell''' }} The first U.S. woman to die of injuries in a combat zone was also an Iowan. Her name was Marion Crandell, formerly a French teacher at St. Katharine's School in Davenport. She died while serving at a canteen near St. Menehould, France, when an artillery shell exploded.

Kansas in The Great War '''
{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} [[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]] About 80,000 Kansans enlisted, most of them in the 35th, the 42nd, the 89th, and the 92nd infantry divisions. '''Camp Funston''' {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-20.jpg |align=r |size=200 |caption='''Major General Frederick N. Funston''' }} Camp Funston was a U.S. Army World War I National Army Mobilization and Training Camp first established in 1917 on the Fort Riley reservation, Riley County, Kansas. Named Camp Funston in G.O. 95, 18 Jul 1917, after Brigadier General [[Funston-91|Frederick L. Funston]], a Medal of Honor recipient, a legendary figure in the Philippine insurrection and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. One of sixteen U.S. Army National Army Mobilization and Training Camps established in 1917 to train and integrate National Army units for service in a U.S. Army division. Camp Funston was established in July 1917 under the supervision of construction quartermaster Captain Fred J. Herman on a site of about 2,000 acres. The camp was to have a capacity of about 54,000 officers and enlisted men that would become the 89th U.S. Infantry Division. {{Image|file=Kansas_in_The_Great_War-4.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption=Mennonite conscientious objectors
at the Detention Camp at Camp Funston }} During World War I, Camp Funston also served as a detention camp for conscientious objectors (COs) many of which were Mennonite in faith. Since it was compulsory, Hutterites sent their young men to military camps, but they did not allow them to obey any military commands or wear a uniform. In March 1918, some of the first recorded American cases of what came to be the worldwide influenza epidemic, also known as "Spanish Flu", were reported at Camp Funston. {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-21.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption='''Brigadier General Leonard Wood''' }} The first commander of the camp was Major General Leonard Wood who formed the 89th U.S. Infantry Division and initiated troop training. The 89th was formed in August 1917 and departed for France in June 1918 The Division distinguish itself in combat operations and suffered 7,291 casualties. The 89th returned to the U.S. in May-June 1919 and was demobilized. At the end of the war the camp became a demobilization center until it was abandoned in 1919. Camp Funston was torn down in the 1920s and the lumber sold at auction. Camp Funston became a maneuver area. ----- Most American troops arrived in France in the spring of 1918, just in time to serve as reserves in the St. Mihiel offensive. Their first major action, however, came in the bloody Meuse-Argonne campaign, which broke the German resistance. The 89th or "Middle West" Division was composed of troops from Kansas, Missouri, and Colorado. {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-22.jpg |align=l |size=200 |caption='''George Seanor Robb''' }} {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-23.jpg |align=r |size=200 |caption='''Erwin R. Bleckley''' }} Salina native George Robb was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for heroism displayed during the Meuse-Argonne action of September 1918. One other Kansan, Erwin R. Bleckley of Wichita, was posthumously awarded this high honor. {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-24.jpg |caption='''General James Guthrie Harbord''' }} James Harbord of Manhattan rose to the rank of major general during the First World War. He served as chief of staff for the American Expeditionary Forces, commanded the Second Division in the field during the summer offensive of 1918, and finished the war as commander of service and supply. In the latter capacity, the general accomplished a vital and difficult assignment—getting adequate supplies to the thousands of soldiers fighting at the front. General Harbord's outstanding wartime service led to many decorations and honors, including the Distinguished Service Medal. On the home front, people contributed to the war effort in many different ways. Citizens began purchasing war bonds and growing victory gardens. Kansas farm production was vital to the war effort. With thousands of men leaving the farm to serve in the armed forces, farm labor often came from non-traditional sources. Women began stepping into men’s working roles as the men went off to fight. Women become employed in factories, began running farms, and even delivering the mail. These positions had been closed to women prior to the start of the war.

{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} [[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]] Jan. 31, 1917 Germany, in its final effort to win the war against the Allied Powers, announced publicly it was resuming unrestricted warfare. United States broke off diplomatic relations with Germany. However soon a German U-boat sank the American liner,"Housatonic". A British steamer was able to rescue the 25 Americans on board! This led states on the coast of the United States to start worrying that a U boat might attack their ships or even fishing boats. Shortly thereafter, four more Merchant marine vessels were sunk. {{Image|file=Images_in_the_Great_War-27.jpg |align=c |size=250 |caption=U-995.}} Feb. 24, 1917, the release of a the disturbing “Zimmermann Note,” a coded telegram from German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann to Count Johann von Bernstorff, German ambassador to Mexico. This was deciphered which stated Mexico should be requested to enter the war as one of Germany's allies. In return, Germany planned to return Mexico's lost territories of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona to Mexico. When this was published, America was ready for war against Germany. '''Camp Beauregard''' Camp Beauregard was a U.S. Army World War I National Guard Mobilization and Training Camp first named as Cantonment Alexandria in 1917 near Alexandria, Rapides Parish, Louisiana. Renamed Camp Beauregard in G.O. 95, 18 Jul 1917, after General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard, U.S. Civil War Confederate General. The first commander of the camp was Major General Henry C. Hodges, Jr. (Cullum 2901) who formed the 39th U.S. Infantry Division and trained the troops. The 39th was to be composed of National Guard units from Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. The 39th arrived in July 1917 and departed for France starting 1 August 1918 with the first units arriving in Europe on 12 Aug 1918. The 39th Division was designated as the 5th Depot Division on 14 August 1918 and furnished replacements for losses in other units. The 39th returned to the U.S. in 1919 and was demobilized at Camp Beauregard. Also Trained: :17th U.S. Infantry Division (Aug 1918 - Feb 1919) At the end of the war the camp became a demobilization center until it was abandoned on 18 Mar 1919. The State of Louisiana purchased the reservation in 1920 for use as a National Guard camp and named it Camp Hunter; the name did not stick and the name reverted to Camp Beauregard. -----'''Resources''' :USGENWEB: [http://www.usgwarchives.net/la/military/worlwar1.htm Louisiana World War I Resources] :[http://freepages.military.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~worldwarone/WWI/Louisiana/soldiers.html?cj=1&netid=cj&o_xid=0000584978&o_lid=0000584978&o_sch=Affiliate+External Louisiana Casualties] During World War I :[http://louisiana-genealogy.com/Louisiana-Military-Records.htm Louisiana Military Records] :[http://ww1ha.org/the-first-submarine-war/ U2 boats]

Maine in The Great War '''
{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} [[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]]Maine campaign credit in World War I includes the following: Champagne-Marne, Aisne-Marne, St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne, Ile de France 1918, and Lorraine 1918. Maine units with campaign streamers from World War I: 120th Regional Support Group, 133rd Engineer Battalion, 136th Engineer Company, 152nd Maintenance Company, and the 1035th Engineer Detachment.
'''The 103rd Infantry Regiment, 26th "Yankee" Division'''
When World War I began in Europe in August of 1914, the Maine National Guard principally consisted of Coastal Artillery batteries and the 2nd Maine Infantry Regiment. The 2nd Maine was called up for active service on the border with Mexico during General Pershing's Pancho Villa Expedition. After World War I was declared in 1917, the entire National Guard of the state was called into service of the United States. The War Department granted authority in September, 1917 for the establishment of an infantry regiment of National Guard, “to be fully equipped by the National Government and under its control, but not to be in Federal service unless called, the policy being to hold the newly organized National Guard units for service in the state.” This unit was formed around the 2nd Maine Infantry and was designated the 103rd Infantry Regiment, assigned to the [[Space:26th “Yankee” Division in World War I|26th “Yankee” Division]]. The 103rd Infantry spent several months at initial training in Massachusetts before departing for France in 1917. The regiment arrived at Le Havre, France on October 16-21 and settled into a period of training under French advisor supervision. They moved to the front lines near Chemin des Dames on the Soissons Front on February 6, 1918. It was here that the regiment experienced its first combat, coming under artillery and gas attacks. On April 1, the 103rd transferred to the Toul Front which was threatened by a German offensive. The regiment remained at Toul for three months, experiencing heavy fighting. On June 16, the Germans launched a heavy raid against the 1st Battalion of the 103rd at Xivray. The regiment distinguished themselves in this action, as evidenced by the following vignettes. A German machine-gun squad had just entered an American trench, and were spotted by Verne Boutlier of Houlton, who assaulted them with his automatic rifle, which was soon broken by enemy fire. He then attacked them with just his bayonet, taking the machine gun, and using it against the enemy. At another point, a German flamethrower team of three men got close to the lines and Captain Williams shot the man with the flamethrower, detonating the tank and killing all three. During the assault, the Germans took one prisoner, a boy from Eastport. Hearing of this, Lt. Irvin E. Doane from Houlton led a rescue party of seven men who re-captured the boy as well as some Germans. The regiment was moved from Toul at the end of the month.
'''Private First Class George Dilboy, Medal of Honor''' {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-36.jpg |align=r |size=250 |caption='''PFC George Dilboy''' }}
The next position held by the 103rd was on the Chateau-Thierry Front, where they first went on the assault. They replaced the Marines in Belleau Wood on July 5, but they would not remain here long. On the 18th, the 103rd took part in the 26th Division's assault. In the first twenty-two minutes, they had seized the village of Torcy to their front. After the first hour they had consolidated their position and thrown up defensive positions. It was during this assault that Private First Class George Dilboy heroically destroyed a German machine gun position. He was posthumously given the Medal of Honor, the citation for which reads: "After his platoon had gained its objective along a railroad embankment, Pfc. Dilboy, accompanying his platoon leader to reconnoiter the ground beyond, was suddenly fired upon by an enemy machinegun from 100 yards. From a standing position on the railroad track, fully exposed to view, he opened fire at once, but failing to silence the gun, rushed forward with his bayonet fixed, through a wheat field toward the gun emplacement, falling within 25 yards of the gun with his right leg nearly severed above the knee and with several bullet holes in his body. With undaunted courage he continued to fire into the emplacement from a prone position, killing 2 of the enemy and dispersing the rest of the crew." General Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Force, called Dilboy one of the "ten great heroes" of the war. Dilboy was born in Greece and was the first Greco-American to receive the Medal of Honor.
'''Major J. W. Hanson, ''To the Last Man'''''
The 103rd advanced again to Hill 190 on the 20th, with the 1st Battalion taking heavy casualties. The commander, Major J.W. Hanson, sent back this message to regimental headquarters: "Tell the Colonel we have taken and are consolidating the position but have had tremendous losses, have less than 200 men in the line available for duty but will hold the position to the last man." This is considered the origination of the regiment's motto, "To the Last Man," which is continued by the 133rd Engineer Battalion to this day. The entire regiment remained on the offensive until the 23rd when they came off the line. After a brief respite, the 103rd went on the offensive again on August 12th on the St. Mihiel Front, seizing Chamot Bois, Billy-sur-les Cotes, and Vieville-sur-les-Cotes. Then it was back off the front lines until October 14th. On November 8th, the 103rd took part of the great Allied offensive of the Meuse-Argonne. They took Haumont on November 9th and then Bois de Ville on the 10th. On the morning of November 11th, every battalion was poised to jump off in a general assault following a massive artillery bombardment. The bombardment was called off and the infantry were ordered to advance at 10:35 until 11:00. At 11:00 they were ordered to halt, and the guns went quiet. The Armistice began. The regiment returned home the following spring and the men were mustered out. However, the 103rd Infantry was retained as an organization in the Maine National Guard.
'''The 54th Artillery Regiment, Coast Artillery Corps'''
Another unit to go to France from Maine was the 54th Artillery Regiment, Coast Artillery Corps. The 54th was called into Federal service in January of 1918. The regiment arrived in Le Havre France on April 6, 1918 and was designated the Replacement Regiment for the Heavy Artillery. The regiment was moved to Haussimont (Marne) early in May and remained at that station until September, 1918, when it was divided into a Heavy Artillery Training Battalion, a Tractor Replacement Battalion, and a Railway Artillery Replacement Battalion. The first two battalions left Haussimont late in September for other stations. The organization of the 3rd Battalion as the Railway Artillery Replacement Battalion was completed in September. It remained at Haussimont until December, 1918 when it departed for Angers to rejoin the other battalions of the 54th Artillery (C.A.C.) and return to the United States. This organization classified, trained, and dispatched to the front, replacements for the various units of the Railway Artillery Reserve. Its records show that between April 26-November 26, five hundred and eleven officers and six thousand four hundred and twenty-four enlisted men were disposed of as replacements. The 54th Artillery returned to the United States and was demobilized on March 13th, 1919.
'''The First Maine Heavy Artillery'''
The First Maine Heavy Artillery was activated for service in 1917. The regiment had their colors blessed by Bishop Louis S. Walsh at the cathedral in Portland on October 14, 1917. On August 22, 1917, Battery C (Lewiston) was removed from the regiment and became the 101st Trench Mortar Battery, part of the 26th Division alongside the 103rd Infantry. On February 9, 1918, the regiment became the 56th Pioneer Infantry Regiment, while 100 personnel went to the 101st Engineer Battalion. The 56th Pioneer Infantry was filled with draftees in August, 1918, and departed for France. The regiment arrived in St. Nazaire on September 13, 1918 and was attached to the First Army. Due to the nature of the regiment's mission (acting in concert with infantry and engineers to clear obstacles and build hasty trails), it was broken up into companies and deployed across the Argonne Sector from October 2 to November 11. The regiment suffered four killed in action and twenty-two wounded in action. After the Armistice, the 56th became part of the Army of Occupation, patrolling areas in the American Sector until May 25, 1919. The regiment arrived back in the U.S. on June 22 and was disbanded on July 1-3, 1919.
'''The 101st Trench Mortar Battery'''
The 101st Trench Mortar Battery was assigned to the 51st Field Artillery Brigade of the 26th Division. They arrived in France on October 29, 1917 and went into training at Coetquidan from October 31, 1917 to February 6, 1918. Like the 103rd, their first front was at Chemin des Dames and Toul, armed with ten Newton-Stokes mortars. On April 10 at Apremont, the 101st laid down a mortar barrage in front of the 104th Infantry that broke up and stopped an enemy raid, earning the battery a commendation from division commander Major General Edwards. Two days later they earned another commendation, this time from the French 32nd Army Corps. On May 29-30, they advanced four mortars forward of the infantry and fired over 400 rounds at the enemy before moving their position due to heavy fire. The battery was heavily involved in the St. Mihiel drive, the actions at Chateau-Thierry, and the final drive for the Meuse-Argonne. The 101st returned home with the rest of the 26th Division and was disbanded on May 26, 1919. -------------- '''Resources:''' *[http://ww1ha.org/the-first-submarine-war/ U2 boats] *[http://www.archives.gov/research/military/ww1/draft-registration/maine.html Archives.gov] - World War I Draft Registration Cards Microfilm Roll List, M1509: Maine (29 rolls) *[https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Maine_Military_Records Family Search] - Maine Military Records *[http://www.me.ngb.army.mil/about/history/ww1.aspx Maine Army National Guard] - World War I *[http://www.raogk.org/maine-genealogy/me-military-records/ raogk.org] - Maine Military Records Research Guide

Colonel Josiah Snelling began construction on the permanent fort in 1820. The post was completed and renamed Fort Snelling after Colonel Snelling in 1825. The fort was abandoned in 1857, but reactivated in 1861 by state volunteer troops. Federal troops returned in 1866. The post was used as a recruitment and training depot during World War I and again was forced to expand to accommodate the large numbers of troops being sent overseas. Large numbers of temporary wooden barracks were built in the area near the present day Minneapolis-St. Paul Regional Airport. The brick barracks built in 1885 were used as a junior officer training school. The 1898 post hospital became U.S. General Hospital #29 and housed returning wounded soldiers.

Most of the deserters surrendered peacefully, but an exchange of gunfire resulted in two deaths in Tippah County. ----- '''Dissent in Mississippi'''{{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-19.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption='''Senator John Sharp Williams''' }} The state of Mississippi's two U.S. senators took diametrically opposed positions towards the declaration of war. The senior senator, John Sharp Williams, fully supported President Wilson's call to arms. James Kimble Vardaman, however, not only voted against the declaration of war, but he resisted the administration's call for selective conscription and went on to oppose other measures that the Wilson administration deemed essential for the war effort. Williams's response to President Wilson's call for a declaration of war, like that of many upper-income southerners, drew upon the Lost Cause mythology of the American Civil War. On the floor of the Senate, he insisted that American manhood and honor required the United States to fight to defend its interests against the continuing German transgressions of neutral rights. He suggested that opponents of the war were guilty of treason and declared that it was better to die with honor than live as a coward. While too old himself to fight, Williams later expressed pride in the fact that three of his four sons volunteered for military service. Across Mississippi, the overwhelming majority of newspapers backed the president and praised Williams's leadership. {{Image|file=Vardaman-53.jpg |align=l |size=200 |caption=[[Vardaman-53|'''Senator James K. Vardaman''']] }} Meanwhile, Williams's junior colleague and bitter political rival, Senator James K. Vardaman, cast one of only six Senate votes against the declaration of war. Rather than glorifying the Lost Cause, Vardaman and his predominantly rural constituents recalled the horrors of the Civil War, characterizing it as a “rich man's war and a poor man's fight” in which the latter had suffered the heaviest losses. Vardaman suggested that, once again, the United States was being drawn into war by privileged economic interests, such as bankers and munitions makers. He argued that most ordinary Americans had no desire to join the European conflagration, and suggested that “the great toiling masses of America” who would pay the heaviest price in lives and treasure ought to have a voice in any decision for war. While recognizing that he held a minority view, he argued that his conscience required him to oppose the declaration of war. His words were of no avail. The Senate voted for war on April 4, 1917. -----
'''Camp Shelby''' {{Image|file=Shelby-44.jpg |align=l |size=200 |caption=[[Shelby-44|Isaac Shelby]] }}
One of sixteen U.S. Army National Guard Mobilization and Training Camps established in 1917 to train and integrate National Guard units for service in a U.S. Army division. Camp Shelby was established in July 1917 under the supervision of construction quartermaster Major W. J. Howard. The camp was to have a capacity of about 36,000 officers and enlisted men that would become the 38th U.S. Infantry Division. The camp was completed about November 1917 with an eventual cost of $ 5,900,000. During the World War I build up the post grew to 1,206 buildings and hosted a tent city designed for 36,000 troops. after the war all the buildings were demolished but four. The first commander of the camp was Major General William H. Sage (Cullum 2952) who organized the 38th U.S. Infantry Division on 25 Aug 1917 and initiated troop training. The 38th departed for France in Oct 1918 and upon arrival it was skeletonized with troops used as replacements in other units. The 38th returned to the U.S. in December 1919 and was demobilized. At the end of the war the camp became a demobilization center and was closed. In 1934 the post reverted to the State of Mississippi for use as a National Guard training post. ----
'''Payne Field'''
Payne Field is a former World War I military airfield, located 4.3 miles (6.9 km) north-northeast of West Point, Mississippi. It operated as a training field for the Air Service, United States Army between 1918 until 1920. Payne Field was named in memory of Captain Dewitt Payne. {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-18.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption='''Jack W. Heard''' }} The commander of Payne Field was Lt. Col. Jack W. Heard. Heard was a career army officer, a West Point graduate (class of 1910), and the son of Medal of Honor John W. Heard, a native of Woodstock, Mississippi. After graduation from West Point, Heard was assigned to the 7th Cavalry (George Custer’s old regiment) and was sent to the Philippines. It was here that Heard first became interested in the new phenomenon of flying, and after several applications for transfer he was finally approved for the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps and earned his pilot’s certificate. Quickly rising in the ranks of the Air Corps, he went on to command three training bases during the First World War: Kelly Field in Texas, Scott Field in Illinois, and Payne Field. The airfield was one of thirty-two Air Service training camps established in 1917 after the United States entry into World War I. It was the first airport constructed in Mississippi. The first units stationed at Payne arrived in April, 1918, being transferred from Kelly and Ellington Fields, Texas. However, only a few U.S. Army Air Service aircraft arrived with the squadrons. Most of the Curtiss JN-4 Jennys to be used for flight training were shipped in wooden crates by railcar. {{Image|file=Mississippi_in_The_Great_War-4.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption='''Payne Field MS Pilot Uniform
& a JN-4 "Jenny"''' }} Payne Field served as a base for flight training for the United States Army Air Service. In 1918, flight training occurred in two phases: primary and advanced. Primary training took eight weeks and consisted of pilots learning basic flight skills under dual and solo instruction with a student capacity of 300. After completion of their primary training, flight cadets were then transferred to another base for advanced training. In all some 1,500 pilots trained at the field during its operation. Accidents were frequent and in the first four months of operation there were four fatal plane crashes. Airplane crashes, however, were not the primary health concern. In June 1918, the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service stated that Payne Field; "was located in one of the worst malaria belts of the United States." Physicians there reported that 20 percent of their practice consisted of malaria cases. With the end of World War I, in December 1919 Payne Field was deactivated as an active duty airfield '''Resources''' *[http://mdah.state.ms.us/arrec/digital_archives/wwicards/ Mississippi World War I Statement of Service Cards and Indices]

'''Fort Dix''' Fort Dix was a U.S. Army post established in 1917 during World War I as Camp Dix near Wrightstown, Burlington County, New Jersey. Named for Major General John A. Dix, U.S. Senator, New York Governor, and ambassador to France. The first commander of the camp was Major General Chase W. Kennedy, who formed the 78th U.S. Infantry Division and initiated troop training. The 78th was organized on 27 Aug 1917 and the first elements departed for France in May 1918. The 78th distinguished itself in combat in France suffering 7,245 casualties. The 78th returned to the U.S. on 6 Jun 1919 and was demobilized. At the end of the war Camp Dix became a demobilization center and later a training camp for the National Guard, Reserve and active army personnel. The camp was placed in caretaker status from 1926 to 1933. Between 1933 and 1939 it was a processing and replacement center for the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). '''Camp Merritt''' Camp Merritt was a A U.S. Army World War I Embarkation Camp first established in 1917 near Cresskill, Bergen County, New Jersey. Named Camp Merritt after Major General Wesley Merritt (Cullum 1868), U.S. Civil War cavalry officer. The embarkation process usually began at one of the 32 divisional training camps (16 for the National Army (draftees) and 16 for the National Guard) with troops riding to the embarkation camps by train and spending a variable amount of time at the embarkation camp. From the Camp Merritt embarkation camp troops usually marched to the nearby Alpine ferry slip on the Hudson River and traveled by ferry directly to the Hoboken Port of Embarkation docks and onto troop ships. At the Newport News Port of Embarkation all four of the embarkation camps were close enough to the port for the troops to march directly to the ships. Infantry Divisions were too large to move intact on single ships so it could take a division a month or two to reassemble on the European side. The typical U.S. infantry division contained about 1,000 officers and 27,000 enlisted men. The largest available troop ship, the Leviathan, could deliver 12,000 men a month. Troops were sent directly to France or via England. Some 2,084,000 U.S. troops reached France and 1,390,000 saw active service on the front lines. When the armistice took effect on 11 Nov 1918 many of the embarkation camps became disembarkation camps. The returning National Army and the National Guard troops were, for the most part, sent back to one of the training camps for demobilization. The process of returning the troops home from overseas took place at even a faster pace than sending them over. Most troops were returned to the states and demobilized by mid 1919. The training camps and the embarkment camps closed as they completed the the demobilizing process for their returning division(s). Many of the training camps had established large hospital complexes to treat wounded returning soldiers and these remained open even after the camps had closed. The realization that many of the wounded would require lifetime care gave rise to the Veterans Administration (VA) hospital system. At the end of the war Camp Merritt became a disembarkment center, reversing the embarkation process until it was abandoned in 1920. In 1924 a monument to the 563 personnel who died at Camp Merritt during the 1918 influenza epidemic was placed at the former center of the Camp.

{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} [[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]] '''Camp Cody''' Camp Cody was a World War I National Guard Training Camp first established in 1917 near Deming, Luna County, New Mexico. Named Camp Cody in G.O. 95, 18 Jul 1917, after William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), U.S. Army Scout and showman. The first commander of the Camp was Major General Augustus P. Blocksom (Cullum 2662) who formed the 34th U.S. Infantry Division and oversaw the training the troops. The 34th began arriving at Camp Cody in August 1917 and departed for France in October 1918. The 34th returned from Europe and was demobilized starting in December 1918. Also Trained: :97th U.S. Infantry Division (26 Sep 1918 - 20 Nov 1919) At the end of the war the camp became a demobilization center until it was abandoned in 1920 except for the hospital which became a Public Health Service Hospital for veterans until 1922. The Sisters of the Holy Cross of Notre Dame took over the hospital and reopened it as a Tuberculosis sanitarium for the order and the public on 12 May 1923 and operated it until it burned down in 1938. ----- '''New Mexico National Guard and the 1st Infantry Regiment''' The First Infantry Regiment, New Mexico National Guard (NMNG), was mobilized for World War I on 24 April 1917. In October 1917 the regiment was ordered to Camp Kearny, California where it joined the balance of the 40th Division composed of National Guard troops from California, Arizona, Colorado and Utah. Elements of the regiment where then reorganized into the 143d Machine Gun Battalion formed from its First and Second Battalions and the144th Machine Gun Battalion comprised of its Third Battalion and the Machine Gun Company plus the 115th Train Headquarters and Military Police Battalion that was composed of the Regimental Headquarters, Headquarters and Supply Companies. However, once the 40th Division reached its final destination at La Guerche, France the entire division was transformed into a depot division responsible primarily for training men as replacements for active divisions, which it performed with discipline and efficiency. Detachments of the division also guarded prisoners of war and provided ambulance, then known as sanitation, services. '''First N.M. Artillery''' "A" Battery of the First Artillery, NMNG was assigned to 146th Field Artillery Regiment, 66th Artillery Brigade, 41st Infantry Division. Sent to the front in July 1918 to help stop a German drive that had crossed the Marne River within 50 miles of Paris, France, the battery remained on the firing line at Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel, and in the Argonne with their French made mobile 155-mm guns until the Armistice, 11 November 1918. During the peace that followed New Mexico's National Guard was reorganized in 1921 into the 111th Cavalry Regiment, the 120th Engineers, and Battery A, 158th Field Artillery.

The 77th headquarters returned to the U.S on 25 Apr 1919 and the division was demobilized. At the end of the war the camp became a demobilization center until it was abandoned in 1919. The public property was auctioned off in August 1921. All that remained were the roads. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) reforested the site in the 1930s and it remained relatively undeveloped until 1940. ----- '''Camp Mills''' Camp Mills was a U.S. Army World War I Training and Embarkation Camp first established in 1917 near Garden City, Nassau County, New York. Named Camp Mills after Major General Albert L. Mills (Cullum 2796), who was awarded the Medal of Honor for gallantry at Santiago de Cuba during the Spanish American War. The camp was abandoned as an active post in 1920 and later absorbed into Mitchel Field. Also known as Camp Albert L. Mills The first commander of the camp was Major General William A. Mann (Cullum 2574), who formed the 42nd U.S. Infantry Division and initiated troop training. The 42nd was organized on 5 Aug 1917 and departed for France on 18 Oct 1917. The 42nd returned to the U.S. 26 Apr 1919 and was demobilized. After the 42nd had left Camp Mills the post was rebuilt with permanent barracks and increased capacity so as to serve as an additional embarkment camp for the Hoboken Port of Embarkation. A transit area with a capacity of 40,000 troops was established with a total camp capacity of about 46,000. The camp was completed and upgraded at a cost of about $ 12,000,000 for the first fiscal year. Camp Mills began to be used as an embarkation camp in early 1918 and the transit area was filled and refilled many times. When the orders to embark came, troops moved to the East River piers 20 miles away by the long Island Railroad and were loaded onto ferries for transport to the Hoboken piers where the troop ships waited. At the end of the war the camp became a disembarkment center until it was abandoned as an active Army post 3 Apr 1920. The east side of the post became a part of Mitchel Field in 1938.

The warring nations (belligerents) needed food, horses, and other supplies. North Dakota farmers could supply wheat and other grains. Ranchers sold horses to the Army. The war forced the price of wheat up to the unheard of price of $2.50 per bushel. When the U.S. entered the war, North Dakota was well into its first two years of the Nonpartisan League (NPL) government. However, even before state government was influenced by the Nonpartisan League, North Dakotans had held isolationist and pacifist views. Many North Dakotans believed that the only Americans who wanted to get into the European war were leaders of corporations and banks. Despite these views, once war was declared, North Dakota contributed soldiers, nurses, and money to the war effort. ----- '''The North Dakota National Guard and the 1st North Dakota Volunteer Infantry''' The North Dakota National Guard was called to federal duty in July, 1917. Many men who were drafted applied for and received exemptions or deferments. The deferments were usually because there were people dependent on them or because they had to work on the home farm. Farm exemptions were considered very important. Crops had to be raised to feed both soldiers and civilians. {{Image|file=North_Dakota_in_The_Great_War-8.jpg |size=l }} '''Companies of the 1st North Dakota Volunteer Infantry Regiment''' :Company A, Bismarck :Company B, Fargo :Company C, Grafton :Company D, Devils Lake :Company G, Valley City :Company H, Jamestown :Company I, Wahpeton :Company K, Dickinson ------ {{Image|file=North_Dakota_in_The_Great_War-9.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption='''Volunteers at a Red Cross workshop at

North Dakota on the Homefront '''
Though North Dakotans had been reluctant to see the United States enter the war, they accepted the reality and contributed as well or better than other states. On the home front, Americans were expected to buy war bonds, volunteer for the Red Cross, and conserve important food supplies that had to be saved for soldiers. Farmers learned to manage their operations with fewer human hands; they purchased more machinery and found more efficient means of operations. Women managed households to conserve meat, fats, and wheat so that those foods could be sent overseas to “the boys,” and to the relief of French and Belgian families. '''War Bonds''' War bond sales were encouraged by “Four-Minute Men” who spoke (for four minutes) in theatres and rallies all over the state. North Dakotans bought $65,500,000 in war bonds. Across the country, Americans bought 16% more bonds than was expected. However, in North Dakota, the five bond drives resulted in oversubscribing the bonds by 24%. {{Image|file=North_Dakota_in_The_Great_War-5.jpg |size=l |caption='''Volunteers for the Red Cross at Valley City, North Dakota''' }} '''The Red Cross''' was a partner with the federal government in supplying troops with medical supplies, food, and clothing. The North Dakota Red Cross volunteers rolled bandages to be used at military hospitals. Volunteers knitted socks and mittens for soldiers. Local chapters of the Red Cross also raised money to fund hospitals near the war front. Because schools were the social center of many rural communities and small towns, the Red Cross appealed to schools to contribute to the war effort. '''Women''' were specifically charged with managing their families’ food supply to conserve fats, wheat, and meat. Herbert Hoover (he became President of the United States in 1929) headed the U.S. Food Administration during the war. Hoover’s office sent out recipes for meatless or wheatless meals, and recommended that every home have a garden. .{{Image|file=North_Dakota_in_The_Great_War-7.jpg |align=r |size=350 |caption='''Most farmers bought their first tractors during the Great War.''' }} Because farming was the most important occupation in North Dakota, many young men were exempt from military service in order to work on farms. Nevertheless, farmers had to make many concessions to the war. The price of wheat went up with increased demand, but Food Administrator Hoover limited the price of wheat to $2.20 per bushel when the market price was over $3.00. Farmers complained about the price limits, but also tried to make their farm practices more efficient by purchasing tractors which allowed them to farm more land with less labor. Though North Dakota was prepared to locate replacement hands for farms, there was little need to recruit urban people to work on North Dakota farms. Farmers also suffered from drought during the war. Except for 1915, the war years saw little rain. Farmers had to sell cattle they could not feed and had little crop income to buy hay for their livestock. However, those who had a crop enjoyed the high war-time prices and often invested in more land and new machinery. In 1920, however, the post-war economic depression set in and farm commodity prices crashed. North Dakota farmers entered an economic depression that lasted nearly 20 years. ----- '''Bonus for North Dakota Veterans''' The North Dakota legislature, still strongly influenced by the Nonpartisan League, was the first state to give its veterans a bonus. Each man who had served in the Armed Forces received a bonus of $25 ($377 in current value) for each month of service. The legislature also dismissed the debts of the former soldiers. By 1928, the state had paid veterans more than $8,800,000 (nearly $132,700,000 today.) No other state did as much for its veterans.

Named Camp Sherman in G.O. 95, 18 Jul 1917, after General William T. Sherman (Cullum 1022), U.S. Civil War general. The first commander of the Camp was Major General Edwin F. Glenn (Cullum 2698) who formed the 83rd U.S. Infantry Division and trained the troops. The 83rd arrived in September 1917 and departed for France on 5 Jun 1918 arriving in Europe on 19 Jun 1918. The 83rd was designated as a Depot Division and provided replacements for officer and enlisted casualties in other units. Some elements saw combat action but the division as a whole did not. After the departure of the 83rd the 95th U.S. Infantry Division was formed at Camp Sherman on 4 Sep 1918 and training continued until the war ended on 11 Nov 1918. The division was demobilized in December 1918 without being deployed to Europe. At the end of the war the camp became a demobilization center and a convalescent hospital until all discharges were completed on 16 Jul 1920. The hospital remained open to care for injured. The Camp was abandoned in 1921 pursuant to War Department General Order 33, J27 Jul 1921. Oklahoma in The Great War

Named Camp Doniphan in G.O. 95, 18 Jul 1917, after Colonel Alexander W. Doniphan, who served in the Mexican War. The first commander of the camp was Major General William M. Wright who organized the 35th U.S. Infantry Division on 13 Sep 1917 and initiated training. The 35th departed the U.S. through Camp Mills and the Hoboken Port of Embarkation on 25 Apr 1918 arriving in France on 11 May 1918. The 35th returned to the U.S. and was demobilized 30 May 1919 at Camp Funston (1), Kansas. At the end of the war Camp Doniphan was abandoned and the temporary buildings were removed. :'''Native Americans in World War I''' :Approximately 25% of the United States Army was composed of Indigenous Native Americans. '''Choctaw Code Talkers''' [[Bloor-215|Colonel A. W. Bloor]], the commander of the 142nd Infantry Regiment. The memo he sent to the Headquarters read: Headquarters 142nd Infantry, A.E.F. January 23, 1919, A.P.O. No. 796''''' From: C.O. 142nd Infantry To: The Commanding General 36th Division (Attention Capt. Spence) Subject: Transmitting messages in Choctaw 1. In compliance with memorandum, Headquarters 36th Division, January 21, 1919, to C.O. 142nd Infantry, the following account is submitted In the first action of the 142nd Infantry at St. Etienne, it was recognized that of all the various methods of liaison the telephone presented the greatest possibilities. The field of rocket signals is restricted to a small number of agreed signals. The runner system is slow and hazardous. T.P.S. is always an uncertain quantity. It may work beautifully and again, it may be entirely worthless. The available means, therefore, for the rapid and full transmission of information are the radio, buzzer and telephone, and of these the telephone was by far the superior, -- provided it could be used without let or hindrance, -- provided straight to the point information could be given. It was well understood however, that the German was a past master of “listening in" moreover, from St. Etienne to the Aisne we had traveled through a county netted with German wire and cables. We established P.C.’s in dugouts and houses, but recently occupied by him. There was every reason to believe every decipherable message or word going over our wires also went to the enemy. A rumor was out that our Division had given false coordinates of our supply dump, and that in thirty minutes the enemy shells were falling on the point. We felt sure the enemy knew too much. It was therefore necessary to code every message of importance and coding and decoding took valuable time. While comparatively inactive at Vaux-Champagne, it was remembered that the regiment possessed a company of Indians. They spoke twenty-six different languages or dialects, only four or five of which were ever written. There was hardly one chance in a million that Fritz would be able to translate these dialects and the plan to have these Indians transmit telephone messages was adopted. The regiment was fortunate in having two Indian officers who spoke several of the dialects. Indians from the Choctaw tribe were chosen and one placed in each P.C. The first use of the Indians was made in ordering a delicate withdrawal of two companies of the 2nd Bn. from Chufilly to Chardoney on the night of October 26th. This movement was completed without mishap, although it left the Third Battalion, greatly depleted in previous fighting, without support. The Indians were used repeatedly on the 27th in preparation for the assault on Forest Farm. The enemy’s complete surprise is evidence that he could not decipher the messages. After the withdrawal of the regiment to Louppy-le-Petit, a number of Indians were detailed for training in transmitting messages over the telephone. The instruction was carried on by the Liaison Officer Lieutenant Black. It had been found that the Indian’s vocabulary of military terms was insufficient. The Indian for “Big Gun” was used to indicate artillery. “Little gun shoot fast”, was substituted for machine gun and the battalions were indicated by one, two and three grains of corn. It was found that the Indian tongues do not permit verbatim translation, but at the end of the short training period at Louppy-le-Petit, the results were very gratifying and it is believed, had the regiment gone back into the line, fine results would have been obtained. We were confident the possibilities of the telephone had been obtained without its hazards. A.W. Bloor, Colonel 142nd Infantry Commanding.

[[Category: Royal Newfoundland Regiment, British Army, World War I]] During the First World War Newfoundland was a largely rural Dominion of the British Empire with a population of 240,000 people, and not yet part of Canada. The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 led the Government of Newfoundland to recruit a force for service with the British Army. Even though the island had not possessed any formal army organization since 1870, enough men soon volunteered that a whole battalion was formed, and later maintained throughout the war. Governor Davidson strongly felt that the Newfoundland Regiment deserved special recognition for its actions during the battles of Ypres and Cambrai. His request to the British Government to add the prefix Royal to the regiment's name was granted and George V bestowed the regiment with the prefix in December 1917. This was the only time during the First World War that this honour was given and only the third time in the history of the British Army that it has been given during a time of war.

Created in 1881 through the amalgamation of the 72nd Highlanders (Duke of Albany's Own) and the 78th Highlanders (Ross-shire Buffs), as part of the Childers Reforms of the British Army in 1881. The regimental museum is located at Fort George near Inverness. Fort George served as Depot for The Seaforth Highlanders for most of the regiment's life. The regiment served in Britain's later colonial wars, in Egypt (1882), the Sudan (1885), India (1895) and the Boer War (1899-1902). ===First World War=== In 1914, at the First World War, the 1st Battalion was serving in India. The 2nd Battalion was stationed at Shorncliffe Camp near Cheriton, Kent in southern England. The 2nd Battalion was deployed to France as part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF). As part of the 10th Brigade, 4th Division, it took part in the retreat from Le Cateau, the [[:Category: First Battle of the Marne|Battle of the Marne]] and the subsequent chase of the German forces to the River Aisne. In mid-September 1914, the battalion was heavily involved in the [[:Category: First Battle of the Aisne|Battle of the Aisne]], suffering heavy casualties including the CO). The 1st Battalion was returned from India, arriving in France in late 1914, and later took part in the Battle of Givenchy. During the war the three front line Territorial battalions of the regiment, 1/4th, 1/5th and 1/6th Battalions all served in the 51st (Highland) Division. Two service battalions, the 7th and 9th, served in the 9th (Scottish) Division and the 8th (Service) Battalion served in the 15th (Scottish) Division. The 1st Garrison Battalion served on the Salonika Front in the independent 228th Brigade. The 3rd (Special Reserve) Battalion and the 2/4th, 3/4th, 2/5th, 3/5th, 2/6th, 3/6th and 10th (Reserve) Battalions did not serve overseas. ===Second World War=== === After the Wars=== In 1961 the regiment was amalgamated with the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders to form the Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons), which merged, in 1994, with the Gordon Highlanders to form the Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons). This, however, later joined the Royal Scots Borderers, the Black Watch, the Royal Highland Fusiliers (Princess Margaret's Own Glasgow and Ayrshire Regiment) and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders to create the present [[:Category: Royal Regiment of Scotland|Royal Regiment of Scotland]].

Texas in The Great War '''
{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} [[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]]Jan. 31, 1917 Germany, in its final effort to win the war against the Allied Powers, announced publicly it was resuming unrestricted warfare. (the U-boats). United States broke off diplomatic relations with Germany. However soon a German U-boat sank the American liner," Housatonic". A British steamer was able to rescue the 25 Americans on board! This led states on the coast of the United States to start worrying a U boat might attack their ships or even fishing boats. Shortly 4 more Merchant marine vessels were sunk. Feb. 24, 1917, Britain intercepted, deciphered, then forwarded to the United States the disturbing “Zimmermann Note.” This coded telegram from German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann to Count Johann von Bernstorff, German ambassador to Mexico. Deciphered, this stated Mexico should be requested to enter the war as one of Germany's allies. In return, Germany planned to return Mexico's lost territories of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona to Mexico. When this was published, America was ready for war against Germany. Texas established 6 military training camps throughout the state to train draftees and regular soldiers. Forty-percent of the United States Army was composed of the National Guard. Four Texans were awarded the Medal of Honor, although, only three are accredited to Texas. -----

Fort Sam Houston''' }} The headquarters and garrison have always constituted one of the Army's most important commands. Prior to the Civil War, the headquarters controlled 25 percent of the Army's forces. From 1910 until World War II, Fort Sam Houston was the largest Army post in the continental United States. Many of the most distinguished American soldiers have served here, including no less than 13 Army Chiefs of Staff and two United States presidents. The post's prominence led to significant tactical and organizational innovations. Military aviation was born here in 1910 and revitalized during the 1940's and 150s. Large-scale troop maneuvers have been conducted, including the first effective use of the Command Post Exercise in 1911. Field exercises in the 1930's developed the Triangular Division. This streamlined, mobile organization was the foundation of the Army combat power in World War II. The delivery of troops to the battlefield by air also was tested here in 1939-41. Aeromedical evacuation of casualties was first developed here as early as 1917. This page is part of [[Project:The_Great_War_1914-1918|The Great War 1914-1918 Project]].

[[Category: United States Army Air Service, World War I]] ===Air Service=== The Air Service, United States Army (also known as the "Air Service", "U.S. Air Service" and after its legislative establishment in 1920, the "U.S. Army Air Service") was the military aviation service of the United States between 1918 and 1926 and a forerunner of the United States Air Force. It was established as an independent but temporary branch of the U.S. War Department during World War I by two executive orders of President Woodrow Wilson: on May 24, 1918, replacing the Aviation Section, Signal Corps as the nation's air force; and March 19, 1919, establishing a military Director of Air Service to control all aviation activities. Its life was extended for another year in July 1919, during which time Congress passed the legislation necessary to make it a permanent establishment. The National Defense Act of 1920 assigned the Air Service the status of "combatant arm of the line" of the United States Army with a major general in command. In France, the Air Service of the American Expeditionary Force, a separate entity under commanding General John J. Pershing that conducted the combat operations of U.S. military aviation, began field service in the spring of 1918. By the end of the war, the Air Service used 45 squadrons to cover 137 kilometers (85 miles) of front from Pont-à-Mousson to Sedan. 71 pursuit pilots were credited with shooting down five or more German aircraft while in American service. Overall the Air Service destroyed 756 enemy aircraft and 76 balloons in combat. 17 balloon companies also operated at the front, making 1,642 combat ascensions. 289 airplanes and 48 balloons were lost in battle.

[[Category:United States Army Corps of Engineers, World War I]] ==Biography== {{Blue|This space page was written by Allan Harl Thomas, dec.}} [[:Category: United States Army Corps of Engineers, World War|US Army Corps of Engineers]] This is based on determining the proper classification of Corps of Engineer Regiments, A.E.F.-WWI using "Experience Reports" on Fold3 and [https://books.google.com/books?id=LoxAAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA20&lpg Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, Part 1 1919] Several "classifications" are redundant presently. Entries marked with (?) are found on Fold3 but not on the Chief Engineers Annual Report The Corps was formed in 1802. It was given responsibility for building lighthouses and maintaining navigable waterways. In 1917, the Corps had a staff of 27,000 men, who worked on projects such as building dams, dredging harbors, and constructing airports. The Corps also played an important role in developing munitions factories and supplying materials needed by the war effort. Thanks to the articles present at writing, much has been learned about the achievements of this group. United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is a federal agency under the Department of Defense, but it is also an engineering and construction company that provides water resources development projects. The first major project for the Corps was an engineering unit known as the Military Division of the Mississippi River. This unit built a series of forts along the Mississippi River to protect against Indian attacks, including Fort Jackson (now known as Edwards) and Fort St. Philip (now known as Baton Rouge). The Corps of Engineers is a Combat Arms Branch which also has combat support and combat service support roles. Engineer officers plan and execute missions relating to engineer support on the battlefield in light, heavy, airborne, and topographic missions. They coordinate and control all facilities and housing support at military installations. Additionally, the engineer officer serves as the Army's component to the Department of Defense (DOD) team charged with mapping, charting, geodesy, and military geographic responsibilities.
https://inside.sou.edu/mil-sci/branches.html#corps-of-engineers"When the United States entered the Great War in April 1917, there were only 3,000 enlisted engineers. By the end of the war in November, 1918, the demand for their expertise had required the services of almost 400,000 engineers."
http://www.wwvets.com/Engineers.html==001st-074th== [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:United_States_Army_Corps_of_Engineers%2C_World_War_I&action=edit§ion=1 edit] "The order in which the first units of the American Expeditionary Forces were organized and transported to France was influenced by representations of the British and French, who stated that the most urgent need was personnel for the construction and operation of railways. Consequently, nine Engineer railway regiments were recruited to a strength of 1,066 men each, and six of them had debarked in France before the arrival of the first American combat division. All nine regiments landed in France within the period July 26. 1917, to August 30, 1917. Shortly after reaching France the railway regiments were increased in strength to 1,587 men."

The five last-named regiments were immediately assigned to the American line of communications and, excepting the 15th and 16th Engineers, never served as Army troops. Upon their arrival in France, the 11th, 12th, and 14th Engineers were attached to the British Expeditionary Forces, while the 13th Engineers was attached to the French forces. The 16th Engineers was eventually relieved from duty in the American Service of Supply and joined the three other United States railway regiments with the British Expeditionary Forces.

===[https://archive.org/details/unclesamsfactboo00newy/page/68 ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION]=== [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:United_States_Army_Corps_of_Engineers%2C_World_War_I&action=edit§ion=12 edit] The smallest unit in the army is the "squad," usually consisting of eight men, one of whom is the leader, called the "corporal." Two, three or four squads (usually three) may be joined in the next higher unit, which is called a "platoon." The platoon, however, is not so permanent as a squad, but it is formed whenever there is need for it in drilling or on the firing line. Next comes the "company," which is made up at full strength of 150 men; this is about 18 squads or 6 platoons. However, these figures for the number of squads and of platoons in a company are never definitely fixed. A company in the field is very seldom at full strength, and it may be convenient at any time to change the number of squads and platoons. Four companies are joined in a "battalion." The battalion is an important unit in the army organization, but it is not so clearly marked as either the company or the regiment. The "regiment" consists of 3 battalions, making 12 companies. In addition, there are three special companies which do not belong to any of the battalions. These are the headquarters company, including the band and the color guard; the machine-gun company, and the supply company, responsible for the regiment's food, ammunition, and other supplies. Counting in everyone, the regiment at full strength in the old tables of organization totals 2,058 officers and men. Two regiments are joined in a "brigade." Thus the brigade is built up by assembling individual soldiers into squads, squads into platoons; platoons into companies; companies into battalions; battalions into regiments; and regiments into brigades. Brigades may in turn be joined to form "divisions," divisions may be joined to form corps, and corps to form field armies. NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. From the first-class privates are usually chosen the corporals. These are the squad leaders. They are appointed by the commanding officer of the regiment on the recommendation of the commanding officer of the company. In addition to the regularly appointed corporals each company may have one lance corporal. This is a temporary appointment made by the company commander for the purpose of testing the ability of some private whom he is thinking of recommending for permanent appointment. In case the lance corporal does not make a good showing, or for any other reason, he may be returned to the ranks when the commander of the company sees fit. Next above the corporal in rank comes the sergeant. There are usually 9 to 11 sergeants in a company. Unless a sergeant has some other duty assigned to him, he is normally the leader of a platoon. There are, however, many special duties constantly assigned to sergeants. The first sergeant (in Army slang, the "top sergeant"), for example, keeps certain company records, forms the company in ranks, transmits orders from the company commander, and performs many other important tasks. The supply sergeant sees to bringing up supplies of all kinds to the company. The mess sergeant looks after food. The stable sergeant is responsible for the proper care of horses and mules. The color sergeant carries the national or regimental colors. There are many other grades within the rank of sergeant which can not be described here. COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. Sergeants and corporals are known as non-commissioned officers, because they are appointed by their regimental commanding officer. Officers of higher ranks are known as commissioned, since they hold their rank by virtue of a commission issued to them under authority of the President of the United States. The commissioned officer is thus on quite a different footing from the "non-com" (non-commissioned officer). He obtains his rank and authority from a higher source. He is treated with respect which is of a different character from that extended to a non-commissioned officer. This is one of the fundamental things in Army organization. Lowest in rank among the commissioned officers is the second lieutenant. Above him comes the first lieutenant and above him the captain. These are the three "company officers." The captain is ordinarily the commanding officer of a company, while the lieu- tenants might be described as assistant captains. In the absence or disability of the captain, however, the first lieutenant takes his place and has full command, and in the absence or disability of both the second lieutenant takes the command. Next above the captain is the major, whose proper command is a battalion. A step higher is the lieutenant colonel, and above him the colonel, the commanding officer of a regiment. The lieutenant colonel ordinarily assists the colonel and in his absence takes the command. In case both the lieutenant colonel and the colonel are disabled or absent, the senior major takes the command. THE GENERAL OFFICERS. Above the colonel is the brigadier general, whose proper command is a brigade. Above the brigadier general is the major general. One general serves as Chief of Staff of the Army. As such he supervises all troops and departments of the military service. He in turn reports to the Secretary of War. The Secretary of War in his turn acts under the general direction of the President of the United States, who is the Commander in Chief.

Wilson cited Germany’s violation of its pledge to suspend unrestricted submarine warfare in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean, as well as its attempts to entice Mexico into an alliance against the United States, as his reasons for declaring war. On April 4, 1917, the U.S. Senate voted in support of the measure to declare war on Germany. The House concurred two days later. The United States later declared war on German ally Austria-Hungary on December 7, 1917 but never made declarations of war against the other Central Powers Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire. .{{Image|file=Pershing-6.jpg |align=l |size=175 |caption=[[Pershing-6|General John J. Pershing]] }} President Wilson selected General John J. Pershing (called "Black Jack" after he commanded the famous 10th cavalry in he 1890s) to head the American Expeditionary Force. Pershing left for Europe with a mandate from Wilson to cooperate with Allied forces under the following proviso - "''that the forces of the United States are a separate and distinct component of the combined forces the identity of which must be preserved''." In other words, there would be no wholesale melding of American soldiers into the British and French armies as the Allied commanders hoped. The United States would fight under its own flag and its own leadership. This proved to be a bone of contention among the Allies for the rest of the war.

In April 1917, the American Army numbered only 300,000 including all the National Guard units that could be federalized for national service. After the passage of the Selective Service Act in 1917, the United States drafted 2.8 million men into military service. By the summer of 1918, about a million U.S. soldiers had arrived in France, about half of whom eventually saw front-line service; by the Armistice of November 11 approximately 10,000 fresh soldiers were arriving in France daily See: [[Space:U.S.,_World_War_I_Draft_Registration_Cards,_1917-1918|U.S. World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918]] '''America's Losses in the Great War''' :Killed in action: 34,145 :Died of Wounds: 14,224 :Died of Disease: 56,013 :Died of other causes: 6358 :Total dead: 110,940 :Taken prisoner: 4774 :Missing in Action: 3937 :Wounded: 204,743 '''WORLD WAR I TRAINING CAMPS''' {{Image|file=United_States_in_The_Great_War-8.jpg |size=600 }}To build the camps and cantonments required to train U.S. National Guard and National Army divisions during World War I, the federal government created the construction division of the army in May 1917. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker ordered the building of sixteen wood-frame cantonments and sixteen National Guard camps, where troops would be quartered in hastily erected tents with wood floors, with wooden buildings for kitchens and mess halls. Each National Army cantonment contained, in addition to the barracks, quarters, and administration buildings, a hospital, warehouses, railroad tracks, target range, and, in many cases, a power station. Each cantonment could accommodate a "Pershing" division, approximately 28,000 men. By 1 September 1917, the thirty-two construction projects were housing troops. Contractors, taking advantage of a special wartime contract system, employed as many as 200,000 civilians to assemble the camps. National Army cantonments built were Custer (Battle Creek, Michigan), Devens (Ayer, Massachusetts), Dodge (Des Moines, Iowa), Dix (Wrightstown, New Jersey), Funston (Fort Riley, Kansas), Gordon (Atlanta, Georgia), Grant (Rockford, Illinois), Jackson (Columbia, South Carolina), Lee (Petersburg, Virginia), Lewis (American Lake, Washington), Meade (Admiral, Maryland), Pike (Little Rock, Arkansas), Sherman (Chillicothe, Ohio), Taylor (Louisville, Kentucky), Travis (San Antonio, Texas), and Upton (Yaphank, Long Island, New York). National Guard camps built were Beauregard (Alexandria, Louisiana), Bowie (Fort Worth, Texas), Cody (Deming, New Mexico), Doniphan (Fort Sill, Oklahoma), Frémont (Palo Alto, California), Green (Charlotte, North Carolina), Hancock (Augusta, Georgia), Kearney (Linda Vista, California), Logan (Houston, Texas), MacArthur (Waco, Texas), McClellan (Anniston, Alabama), Sevier (Greenville, South Carolina), Shelby (Hattiesburg, Mississippi), Sheridan (Montgomery, Alabama), Wadsworth (Spartanburg, South Carolina), and Wheeler (Macon, Georgia). After the war, the government salvaged a vast quantity of material and sold the remaining installations.

The United States Navy sent a battleship group to Scapa Flow to join with the British Grand Fleet, destroyers to Queenstown, Ireland and submarines to help guard convoys. Several regiments of Marines were also dispatched to France. The British and French wanted U.S. units used to reinforce their troops already on the battle lines and not to waste scarce shipping on bringing over supplies. The U.S. rejected the first proposition and accepted the second. General John J. Pershing, American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) commander, refused to break up U.S. units to serve as reinforcements for British Empire and French units. As an exception, he did allow African-American combat regiments to fight in French divisions. The Harlem Hellfighters fought as part of the French 16th Division, earning a unit Croix de Guerre for their actions at Château-Thierry, Belleau Wood, and Séchault. On the battlefields of France in spring 1918, the war-weary Allied armies enthusiastically welcomed the fresh American troops. They arrived at the rate of 10,000 a day. The infusion of new U.S. troops greatly strengthened the Allies' strategic position and boosted morale. The Allies achieved victory over Germany on November 11, 1918.

[[Category:United States of America, World War I]]__NOTOC__ {{The Great War Project}} '''About the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2968245 United States, Veterans Administration Master Index,] 1917-1940''': This collection contains an index to veterans who served at any time during World War I and who made (or whose heirs made) pension or benefits claims of the Veterans Administration between 1917 and 1940. This collection is based on index cards from the U.S. Veterans Bureau, Mail and Records, Form 7202. Many WikiTreers create and edit profiles of US military personnel that served in World War I and some have had questions as to what information is useful for our purposes. Working from an example for [[Vachon-214|Robert Leo Vachon]] (a member of my family tree), the information available when looking at the [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:WQRP-89ZM FamilySearch indexed page] is: *Name:Robert Leo Vachon *Birth Date30 December 1898 *Residence PlaceNew Haven, Ind *Event TypeMilitary Service *Event Date8 January 1919 *Event PlaceSt. Louis, Missouri, United States *Affiliate Publication Number76193916 *Affiliate Publication TitleVeterans Administration Master Index, 1917 - 1940 This is valuable information, but not enough to fill in dates or a rank or unit in our Great War Sticker. At the left side of the page, you will see an image. Beneath it is a box with the text "View Original Document." Click that link to find what you need. When you open the link, you will see the image of a file card. Most of the information is easy to understand and provides basics. {{Image|file=Using_the_US_Veteran_s_Administration_Master_Index_1917_-_1940_with_The_Great_War_Template.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=Robert L Vachon's VA Master Index Card }} The left side of the card: * Line 1 - Name: VACHON ROBERT LEO * Line 2 - Rank, Unit: Pvt 7 Co 158 DB (In this case, Robert was a Private in the 158th Depot Brigade, 7th Company) * Line 3 - Residence: New Haven, Indiana (usually presented as City/Town, State, but not always. This is often assumed be a home of record or place they lived when they entered service, but it is actually whatever address the VA needed to conduct its business. Hence it is often an address used by the veteran after wartime service, which is sometimes the same as the residence when the person entered service. * Line 4 - Service Number: 608 572 (This is their service number in all of their records) * Line 4 - Died: The date of death. This is not always filled in. Sometimes it is penciled in, other times it is blank * Line 5 - Born: 12/30/98 Date of birth on record. This does not always match what is found in other records, due to mistakes or incorrectly entered dates when the person enlisted. (Sometimes they lied about their age.) It is usually typed as MM/DD/YY * Line 6 - Enl: 4/27/17 This is the enlistment date, as MM/DD/YY * Line 6 - Dis: 1/8/19 This is the discharge date, as MM/DD/YY The right side of the card: This information is presented as numbers, but none of the right side is information useful in writing a biography or creating a sticker for a profile. But in case you were wondering: * K - Life Insurance * A - Adjusted Compensation (Bonus) * T - War Risk Insurance * R - Rehabilitation * CT - WWI Certificate * I - Permanent Disability ===Acronyms=== There are many acronyms used in this form. Although most are easy to figure out, others are not as obvious. Rank Acronyms: Here are links for a lists of military ranks: * [https://www.federalpay.org/military/army/ranks Army] * [https://www.military-ranks.org/navy Navy] * [https://www.military-ranks.org/air-force Air Force] * [https://www.federalpay.org/military/marine-corps/ranks Marine Corps] * [https://www.military-ranks.org/coast-guard Coast Guard] (during times of war, the USCG is part of Dept. of Defense) Note that Navy ranks are sometimes entered with the person's "rating" which is a series of letters denoting the job the person held. So MM2 is Machinist's Mate, 2nd Class. You can enter that in the rank= parameter of the Great War Sticker. You may sometimes see this as PO2 (Petty Officer 2nd Class) which is a generic name for the rank, minus the person's rating. ------- Unit Acronyms: There are vast numbers of unit acronyms and they are not always consistent in the forms. Here is a short list of some of the common acronyms. * AEF - American Expeditionary Force * Arty = Artillery * BN = Battalion * Btry = Battery * Co = Company * CAC = Coast Artillery Corps * Cp = Camp * DB, Dep Brig, or Dep Bde = Depot Brigade * Det - Detachment * Disch Unit - Discharge Unit * DIV = Division * Engr = Engineers or Engineering * FA = Field Artillery * Fld = Field * Fld Sig BN = Field Signal Battalion * HQ = Headquarters * Hq Det = Headquarters Detachment * Inf = Infantry * Mil = Military * NAV - Navy or Naval * NRF = Naval Reserve Force * Pion Inf = Pioneer Infantry * QMC = Quartermaster Corps * SATC = Student Army Training Corps * Sec - Section * Sqdrn or Sqd = Squadron * Svc Unit = Service Unit * USA = US Army * USMC, MC = Marine Corps * Wag or Wgr = Wagoner This is not an exhaustive list. If you have acronyms you'd like to decipher but can't, just ask in g2g and use the tag "Great_War" and "Military_and_War". A list of acronyms you might run across is [https://files.nc.gov/ncdcr/blog/files/ncwwiservicecards_abbrvlist.pdf here]. This is a longer, more complete list. ===The Great War Sticker Creates a Category=== '''The first thing to know is that the parameters of branch and unit are part of this sticker's category creation process.''' The combination of the two will automatically assign a category to the profile. Both branch= and unit= must be exact in order for a green-linked category to appear at the bottom of the profile. [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:The_Great_War The Great War Sticker] is added to a profile using the following template:
Let's review, line by line.
'''Branch''' - The template page includes a list of the accepted branch parameters, which are: *Aviation Section Signal Corps *United States Army Air Service *United States Army Corps of Engineers *United States Army Medical Corps *United States Army Nurse Corps *United States Navy *United States Naval Reserve Force *United States Marine Corps *United States Coast Guard *United States Merchant Marine The thing to remember is that this branch parameter ''must'' be filled in exactly as these are listed. Do not shorten "United States" to US or U.S. The branch is part of the category creation. For our Robert Vachon, above, his entry is branch=United States Army. ''If the exact unit is not known, please just enter the correct branch of service. The person will then be assigned that category.'' '''Units''' - this parameter may contain a short list of units or the complete unit information including the Company. This is where you add the company number or letter and the division and regiment. So, in the case of Robert Leo Vachon, his units= would be Co. 7, 158th Depot Brigade '''Unit''' - This must match the category name exactly. For Robert Leo Vachon, his category is 158th Depot Brigade, United States Army, World War I, so the entry is unit=158th Depot Brigade. '''Startdate''' is the enlistment date and it should be in DD Mon YYYY form. So, Robert Vachon's entry is 27 Apr 1917 (if you spell out the month, it will not generate a template suggestion). '''Enddate''' is the discharge date, and it should also be in DD Mon YYYY form. Robert Vachon's discharge date is 8 Jan 1919. '''Rank''' should be spelled out, but using acronyms will not generate a template suggestion. Robert's rank in the form is Pvt, but he did actually gain the rank of Corporal. For this demonstration, Private is used, but on his profile, Corporal is used. That's all there is to it! So, Robert Vachon's sticker would look like this:
which displays as: {{The Great War |branch=United States Army |units=Co 7, 158th Depot Brigade |unit=158th Depot Brigade |startdate=27 Apr 1917 |enddate=8 Jan 1919 |rank=Private }} ====Notes==== * If you have information that supercedes what is on the form, by all means use the most up-to-date information. There have been mistakes made on these forms, and nothing was entered by computer in those days, so use your best judgement. *DO NOT add numbered or lettered companies in the unit parameter. Our categories do not go down to company level. Regiment or Battalion is usually the lowest level of organization that we categorize. * After you save a profile you've added the sticker to, please check the categories at the bottom of the page. If you see a red link, the category does not yet exist. You may have created it incorrectly or it does not exist yet. *Even though the card may say the man served in the AEF, that is not the branch. The AEF is a blanket for all US forces who served overseas in the war. The regiments that were AEF have that as a category parent, but it doesn't get used in the sticker parameters. * Another list of acronyms for WWI is found [https://files.nc.gov/ncdcr/blog/files/ncwwiservicecards_abbrvlist.pdf here]. ===Sources=== *[https://www.archives.gov/files/calendar/genealogy-fair/2018/6-csar-handout3.pdf VA Master Index Codes] *[https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/United_States,_Veterans_Administration_Master_Index_-_FamilySearch_Historical_Records FamilySearch].

The first commander of the camp was Major General Adelbert Cronkhite (Cullum 2941), who formed the 80th U.S. Infantry Division on 27 Aug 1917 and initiated troop training. The 80th arrived at Camp Lee in September 1917 and departed for France in June 1918. The 80th distinguished itself in combat suffering 1,141 killed and 5,622 wounded. The 80th returned to the U.S. via the Newport News Port of Embarkation in May 1919 and was demobilized on 26 Jun 1919. At the end of the war the camp became a demobilization center until it was abandoned.The temporary buildings were removed with portions of the reservation made into a wildlife preserve and part given to the Petersburg National Battlefield. Some portion of the reservation remained as a military post. ----- '''Camp Stuart''' Camp Stuart was a U.S. Army World War I Embarkation Camp established in 1917 at Newport News, Newport News City, Virginia. Named Camp Stuart after Major General J.E.B. Stuart (Cullum 1643), a Confederate general during the U.S. Civil War who was mortally wounded at the Battle of Yellow Tavern, 11 May 1864. The embarkation process usually began at one of the 32 divisional training camps (16 for the National Army (draftees) and 16 for the National Guard) with troops riding to the embarkation camps by train and spending a variable amount of time at the embarkation camp. From the Camp Merritt embarkation camp troops usually marched to the nearby Alpine ferry slip on the Hudson River and traveled by ferry directly to the Hoboken Port of Embarkation docks and onto troop ships. At the Newport News Port of Embarkation all four of the embarkation camps were close enough to the port for the troops to march directly to the ships. Infantry Divisions were too large to move intact on single ships so it could take a division a month or two to reassemble on the European side. The typical U.S. infantry division contained about 1,000 officers and 27,000 enlisted men. The largest available troop ship, the Leviathan, could deliver 12,000 men a month. Troops were sent directly to France or via England. Some 2,084,000 U.S. troops reached France and 1,390,000 saw active service on the front lines. When the armistice took effect on 11 Nov 1918 many of the embarkation camps became disembarkation camps. The returning National Army and the National Guard troops were, for the most part, sent back to one of the training camps for demobilization. The process of returning the troops home from overseas took place at even a faster pace than sending them over. Most troops were returned to the states and demobilized by mid 1919. The training camps and the embarkment camps closed as they completed the the demobilizing process for their returning division(s). Many of the training camps had established large hospital complexes to treat wounded returning soldiers and these remained open even after the camps had closed. The realization that many of the wounded would require lifetime care gave rise to the Veterans Administration (VA) hospital system. At the end of the war Camp Stuart became a disembarkment and demobilization center, reversing the process until it was abandoned in 29 Nov 1919. ----- '''Camp Alexander''' Camp Alexander was a U.S. Army World War I Embarkation Camp first established by G.O. 107, 1917, on 7 Sep 1917 as a part of Camp Hill (1) near Newport News, Virginia. Named Camp Alexander on 15 Aug 1918 after Lieutenant John H. Alexander (Cullum 3205), 9th U.S. Cavalry, the second black graduate of United States Military Academy in 1887. At the end of the war Camp Alexander was ordered abandoned on 11 Nov 1918. ----- '''Camp Hill''' Camp Hill was a U.S. Army World War I embarkation Camp first established in 1917 in Newport News, Newport News City, Virginia. Named Camp Hill after General Ambrose P. Hill, Confederate U.S. Civil War General who was killed at Petersburg 2 Apr 1865. One of five U.S. Army Embarkation Camps established in 1917 to house and train troops awaiting shipment overseas. Camp Hill was established in August 1917 on a site alongside the James River docks at the Newport News Port of Embarkation. In 1918 the northern part of the camp became Camp Alexander (1) and was dedicated to processing some 50,000 black stevedores and workers on ships to ports in Europe. At the end of the war Camp Hill became a debarkation center until it was abandoned in 7 Oct 1919. ----- '''Camp Morrison''' Camp Morrison was a U.S. Army World War I Embarkation Camp first established in 1917 near Morrison, Newport News City, Virginia. Named Camp Morrison for the nearby town. One of five U.S. Army Embarkation Camps established in 1917 to process U.S. military units for sea transport to the war front in Europe through the Newport News Port of Embarkation. Camp Morrison was established in September 1917 as an embarkation center for Army Air Corps and Balloon Corps personnel and equipment. At the end of the war Camp Morrison became a disembarkment center, reversing the process until abandoned in 1919. -----

Washington in The Great War '''
{{Image|file=Photos-294.gif}} [[Image:Clark-15765-8.gif|400px]] A total of 60,617 Washington men enlisted in the Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard and 1,642 lost their lives, killed in action, died of wounds, died of accidents, and died of disease -- approximately as many as died of influenza in Seattle.*[[Space:Washington_Soldiers_of_the_Great_War | Washington Soldiers in the Great War]]
'''Monuments'''
*[[Space:Maryhill_Stonehenge | Maryhill Stonehenge, Maryhill, Washington]] ----- {{Image|file=Washington_in_The_Great_War-4.jpg |size=650 |caption='''Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Washington''' }}
The Washington National Guard had just returned home from guarding the Mexican border when in March 1917, Washington Governor Ernest Lister (1870-1919) ordered units mobilized. The 2nd Washington Infantry Regiment was drafted into federal service on August 5, 1917, and folded into the 41st Division along with National Guard units from Montana, Idaho, and Oregon. The Washington Field Artillery became part of the 146th Field Artillery Regiment. Both units were shipped to France late in 1917. The 41st Division served as a replacement, training, and depot unit. The 146th Field Artillery saw combat duty.
'''Camp Lewis''' {{Image|file=Lewis-5102.jpg |align=r |size=200 |caption='''Capt. Meriwether Lewis''' }}
Established 5 Jul 1917 during World War I as Camp Lewis, and named after Captain Meriwether Lewis from the Lewis and Clark Expedition of the 1804-1806 Corps of Discovery. Renamed Fort Lewis in 1927, now a component of Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Joint Base Lewis-McChord is an active military installation. In 1917, the Pierce County Electorate voted to bond themselves for $2,000,000 to purchase 70,000 acres for donation to the Federal Government for use as a military base. Camp Lewis was the first military installation to be created as the result of an outright gift of land by the citizens themselves. {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-27.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption='''Lt. Col. David L. Stone''' }} Camp Lewis was established as one of 16 National Army Training Camps for World War I draftees for service overseas. Construction began on 5 July 1917 under the supervision of construction quartermaster Captain David L. Stone who would come back in later years to command the post. In 90 days some 10,000 men built 1,757 buildings and 422 other structures, lighted, plumbed, and heated. Streets, roads, and railroad spurs were underway. When the buildings were completed, the workers subscribed $4,000 to build the main gate, which is still standing, however, moved from its original location due to construction of Interstate 5 highway during the 1950’s. The camp was to have a capacity of about 46,000 officers and enlisted men that would become the 91st U.S. Infantry Division. The first commander of the camp was Major General Harry A. Greene who formed the 91st U.S. Infantry Division and initiated troop training. The 91st organized 25 Aug 1917 and departed for France in July 1918 The division distinguished itself in combat and suffered 5,778 casualties. The 91st returned to the U.S. in March-April 1919 and was demobilized. The 13th U.S. Infantry Division was in training when the war ended. -----
'''On the Washington Homefront'''
Washington farmers, loggers, and food packers benefited from the war from the outset. Lumber and wheat prices climbed to record levels and the demand for flour and processed salmon kept new mills and canneries humming. Wood and steel shipbuilding grew from a minor industry to second only to lumber in the Northwest economy. Seattle, Tacoma, and Vancouver built new shipyards, first for European customers, then for the U.S. government. Skinner & Eddy, Ames, and J. F Duthie in Seattle, Todd in Tacoma, and Columbia Shipbuilding in Vancouver all built modern shipyards. Fifty thousand men took jobs in the new sector, which spun off thousands of other jobs. {{Image|file=Washington_in_The_Great_War-5.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption='''Spruce Production Division poster''' }} Washington forests supplied wood for ships, Army posts, and airplanes (the Sitka spruce was uniquely suited for wing spars), but the woods had been a battleground between organized labor and the owners. In the summer of 1917, 40,000 to 50,000 loggers and mill workers struck for an eight-hour day and it took the intervention of Governor Ernest Lister and Secretary of War Newton Baker to get owners to grant concessions and get the men back to work. {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-26.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption='''Brigadier General Brice P. Disque''' }} But the owners were not up to wartime demands for quantity and quality. Only 10 percent of the mill runs met military specifications. So the War Department sent 5,000 soldiers into the woods as the Spruce Production Division under Lieutenant Colonel Brice P. Disque. The civilian arm was the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen (4 Ls), which by the end of the war had signed up 100,000 men who pledged not to strike. After the war, the 4 Ls became a company union and stymied organizing efforts by the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Colonel Disque got the industry on track and the Spruce Division built camps, and railroads and accessed remote stands of spruce for the war effort. ----- {{Image|file=Alison_s_photos-25.jpg |align=l |size=200 |caption='''Deming "Dick" Bronson''' }}
'''Medal of Honor Recipient'''
University of Washington graduate Deming "Dick" Bronson (1894-1957) received the Medal of Honor for gallantry in action. Bronson was a U.S. Army First Lieutenant in September 1918, when, over a period of two days and with severe wounds, he led several successful assaults on German positions. He was awarded his honor in 1929. -----
'''Washington Remembers'''
Washington's sacrifices in the Great War are remembered today with numerous monuments, including major memorials on the State Capital campus in Olympia and on Des Moines Memorial Way in King County. Centralia also erected a monument to four World War I veterans who were killed while attempting to destroy the town's IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) offices on the first Armistice Day, November 11, 1919. It is now overlooked by a mural honoring Wesley Everest, a Wobbly, who was also a veteran, lynched in the riot's aftermath.

Such as Railway guards, postal workers, clerks, and many began working in factories. Pay was a lower wage than what men would earn. Soon women began asking for equal pay. Munitions factories hired women in Britain. These were producing the weapons and shells that they British Army used. (A bad side-effect was caused by the chemical ' trinitrotoluene', the explosive agent for shells). This chemical exposure with no safety protective clothing (there was no OSHA then) caused many women to be exposed. They were known as '''canaries''' because they had to handle TNT. Their skin turned yellow (jaundice). An estimated 400 women died from this overexposure to TNT during WWI.
