Description
The series consists of abstracts for officers and enlisted men in units of the New York National Guard who were mustered into the U.S. Army during World War I. Each individual's entry includes: U.S. Army serial number; date and place of commission or enlistment; muster dates (N.Y. and U.S. with rank, company, and regiment); and date, rank, and reason (type of discharge or transfer) for leaving service. Sometimes additional remarks detail service overseas, promotions, or service conduct.
