Excerpt from War Service of Members of Pennsylvania Society Sons of the Revolution: 1917-1919 It is to be understood in reading this report that nearly all the officers included in it, except regulars, save a very few who could not be reached in order to find out their status, have been demobilized at the present time, and that they are members of the Pennsylvania Society of Sons of the Revolution. The records of each officer and civilian, after careful scrutiny by the Committee, have been briefly selected from such information as was furnished by the members in question at the request of the Secretary of the Society. In certain of these records, however, the official data that was laid before us appeared unnecessarily voluminous, and therefore seemed to require curtailment in the judgment of those in charge of the work, which was accordingly made. In other cases the furnished information has proven altogether too fragmentary, particularly in the miscellaneous division, thus leaving in the opinion of the Committee an unsatisfactory chronicle of patriotic duty. This report is divided into three parts, viz: - 1. Army. 2. Navy and Marine Corps. 3. Miscellaneous. (Civilian.) It covers only the period from April, 1917, to December, 1919, and is submitted to the Society with the hope that it will prove a reliable and accurate record, so far as the Committee have been able to make it, of our members devotion to their country in the World War. It has been in preparation since April last and is we believe fully brought up to date. Nevertheless a report of errors or omissions, for a future edition, will be appreciated by the Committee.
