PREFACE
In compliance with chapter 367, section 1, Acts of 1924, the Commission has com-
piled a record of citizens and residents of Massachusetts who died during the World War
while in the military or naval service of the United States or of the Commonwealth;
also in the services of the Allies, so far as could be recovered.
This record gives in as compact form as practicable the data which the act calls for, —
namely, to establish the identity of the soldier, sailor or marine; to enable a reasonable
estimate to be made of the service rendered; to give the service record, residence, birth-
place, age at entry into the service, and names of nearest relatives.
The volimie contains 5,771 individual service records, men and women. The basis
of the compilation was the series of service records supplied to The Adjutant General
of Massachusetts by the War Department. These military records give date of entry
^ and discharge from the service and units to which attached, age, residence, next of kin
or friend named by the soldier, wounds, overseas service, and "battles" in which he took
part. In some cases other information appeared on these cards. However, the actual
place of death, except in a few instances, was not stated.
Specimen service cards supplied by the War and Navy Departments are printed
below.

PREFACE
To present the information required of the Commission in one vohime of a size not
too large for easy reference, the following arrangement was adopted :
Name, rank, date, place and cause of death; service record, giving organizations to
which attached, with term of service in each ; date of departure overseas ; former service
record, if any; date and place of birth; parentage; marriage and children; names of
brothers and sisters; occupation or training; citations for gallant conduct, etc.; deco-
rations. In every instance not otherwise stated it is understood that the grade was
that of enlisted man below that of the lowest grade of non-commissioned or warrant
officer.
In order to present this information in the least space, certain styles and sizes of
type and certain easily understood abbreviations have been used.
The names of those who were killed in action or who died of wounds are preceded by
a cross.
The record has been arranged alphabetically under cities and towns, grouped by
counties. The table of contents gives the pages where the town or city lists appear.
An alphabetical list of names of those whose records appear in this volume, with ref-
erence to the city or town under which the name occurs, is given on page 691. In many
instances the same man has been claimed by different towns, but the Commission has
attempted to determine the actual residence.
There are about 30,000 names in this volume, in addition to the 5,771 names in
the record itself. To collect the information needed to comply with the specifications
of the act has required a great deal of research and checking of information, often con-
tradictory, obtained from various sources.
Efforts were made to get information from near relatives covering facts it was desired
to use, as well as other data to be placed in the files of the Commission for further record.
About 5,000 questionnaires were distributed, but reports were received in only
about 40 per cent of the cases. A copy of the questionnaire is inserted herewith: —
GOLD STAR RECORD OF MASSACHUSETTS IN THE WORLD WAR.
An Act relative to the Compilation of a Record of the Massachusetts Men who died in the Military
OR Naval Service during the World War.
"The special commission to provide for the preparation of a suitable history of Massachusetts' part in the
World War, established under authority of chapter four hundred and eight of the acts of nineteen hundred and
twenty-three, is hereby directed to compile an appropriate record of Massachusetts men who died during the
World War while in the militar.y or naval service of the United States of America or of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts or in the military or naval forces of any foreign power associated with the United States of
America in the World War. Said Record shall be known as The Gold Star Record of Massachusetts in the
World War. It shall be in sufficient detail to establish the identity of each such deceased soldier, sailor or
marine, and to enable a reasonable estimate to be made of the service rendered by him to the Commonwealth,
and shall set forth among other things his service record, residence, birthplace, age of entry into service and his
nearest relatives. The manuscript for said report shall be completed on or before July 1, W26." (Chapter 367,
Section 1, Acts 192-t.)

Date Address
It is very important that this questionnaire be returned at as early a date as possible.
The files of the Treasurer and Receiver-General of the Commonwealth, showing
applications for the gratuity granted Massachusetts men in the service who had complied
with certain requirements and who resided in the state during the six months preceding
entry into the service, supplied invaluable information.
The current news items published during the war, various town, school and other
rolls, and data received from interested persons, were additional sources of information.
Following the compilation of the record based on the sources already mentioned, the
vital records in possession of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, and in some instances
the town records of other states, were consulted.
A great many instances were found where men, notwithstanding they were Massa-
chusetts men, were not credited by the War Department to our Commonwealth. This
arose from the fact that Massachusetts men often enlisted in other states. For instance,
a resident of North Adams may have been accepted for service there but enlisted at some
army post in another state; or, because he did not give his true residence, credit was
given to the state in which the post was situated. Thus Massachusetts men were
credited to New York, to Vermont, or to the District of Columbia. In some cases
men claimed residence in the state where they enlisted, or in some other than their
home state, even though they had but recently left Massachusetts to seek temporary
employment, and were still assessed in their home town and their names listed by the
local draft board.
Every instance which has come to the notice of the Commission has been investi-
gated. After the record was in type proof sheets covering each town were sent to the
town clerk of that town and to Adjutants or Commanders of American Legion Posts,
and other veteran organizations, and to other interested persons, in order that oppor-
tunity might be given for revision. Several newspapers printed the complete lists of
names and records for their localities. All of this was of help to the Commission.
There will be found omissions in this record of names of men appearing on honor
rolls of some Massachusetts towns. These instances, almost invariably, were of men
who actually had become citizens of some other state, or whose absence from Massa-
chusetts had been of such long duration that other states had unquestionably obtained
the right to claim credit for their service. There have been, however, a number of names
added to the credit of Massachusetts, the result of the work of the Commission.
To locate, even approximately, the place of death was a matter of no little diffi-
culty. Various sources of information were used. In many instances the parents of
the soldier exhibited letters from company commanders or comrades in service who
related the exact circumstances under wiiicli death occurred. The Red (toss records
PREFACE
also were used. Lacking other information it was assumed, if a man was killed in
action or mortally wounded on a date on which his organization was known to have
been in a certain position, that his death occurred at or near that place. Thus if a
man is reported killed in action on the day it is known his company was in Belleau
Wood or attacking Vaux, he is said in the record to have died there, not merely in the
Chateau-Thierry Sector, although actually he may have lived to reach a first-aid post
or field hospital. Mistakes will, of course, be found. The enclosure within brackets
of the name of the place where death is reported indicates that the information is
not only unofficial, but is a deduction from the data available. Names of men
concerning whose death official confirmation could not be obtained are also placed in
brackets.
The work of identification of place of death was largely performed by Capt. Sidney
A. Cook and Mr. Herbert L. Kuhn, both former members of the 2Cth Division. Any
questionable instance was determined by the editor of the record.
Difficulties were frequently encountered in identifying the family affiliation of the
soldier or sailor, requiring genealogical investigation. As a rule, the identification was
performed by Mr. John Elliot Bowman, a genealogist of long experience, assisted by
Mr. Kuhn, and here again the many difficult problems of identity were submitted
to the editor.
In the absence of confirmatory data from relatives, it has not been possible to
satisfactorily identify the family affiliation of all persons named in the record. In
many cases it seemed better to omit what might be erroneous information, however
circumstantial the evidence. Notwithstanding the care exercised in this matter, it is
to be expected that some instances of mistaken identification occur, due in part to
the fact that even the records of birth and marriage frequently err regarding baptismal
names. This especially is the case with names of foreign-born parents.
Unless otherwise noted, it is to be understood that the place of residence of
parents of the soldier or sailor is the town under which the man's record is found.
Where no other definite information could be obtained, the source of information is
usually the application for the gratuity granted by the Commonwealth.
All whose place or country of birth is not specified are to be understood as having
been born in Massachusetts unless the context shows otherwise, but this rule does
not always hold true in the case of mothers where the father was native born, or to
nativity of brothers and sisters. Overseas deaths are in France unless another country
is named.
It is needless to state that the necessities of the abbreviated form of the record
have required an arbitrary rule regarding punctuation and capitalization.
Finally, in order to condense the record as far as practicable, the names of the
ofl'ensive and defensive operations (each of which covered a large area) with which the
man was credited on the service card supplied by the War Department have been
omitted under the individual records. By reference to Volume I of the Report of the
Commission, under the various organization histories, information will be found
regarding the activities of those organizations, and between certain dates, thus enabling
one to learn in what operations the man participated.
The record of Massachusetts made by her sons in this war is one to be proud of.
This Gold Star Record is but a slight testimonial of the regard of the Commonwealth
for the sacrifices of those who died in the service.
A study of the data obtained by the Commission in the progress of this work sup-
plies the following general information:
PREFACE
Deaths in American forces, 5,288, as follows: Army, 4,427, exclusive of 20 nurses
and Ambulance Service, 2; Navy, 654; Marines, 152; yeomen (F), 8; Coast Guard,
25; Canadian forces, 325; British, 116; Australian, 3; New Zealand, 1; French, 10;
Polish, 2; Russian, 3; Belgian, 1; Italian, 6; total, 5,755. To this total should be
added the names in the Supplementary List on page 687.
It is found that 3,379 of those whose records appear in this roll were natives of
Massachusetts, 441 were born in other New England States, and 384 in other parts of
the United States; Hawaii, 1; Philippine Islands, 2; Canada, including Newfound-
land, 280; British West Indies, 3; Great Britain, 160; Ireland, 165; Italy, 179;
France, 10; Sweden, 25; Norway, 2; Denmark, 7; Poland, 45; Lithuania, 36; other
Baltic states, 8; Ukraine, 2; Russia, including provinces now independent, but which
could not be identified, 91; Turkey, including Syria and Armenia, 29; Portugal, in-
cluding Azores and Western Islands, 25; Germany, 10; Bulgaria, 1; Austria, 18;
Holland, 3; Belgium, 2; Greece, 44; Spain, 1; Mexico, 1; Cuba, 1; Brazil, 2; Africa,
2; Japan, 1. The birthplace of 422 men was doubtful or unknown at the time this
count was made, the larger proportion of whom would probably fall under the general
head "American."
The fact that their own people and relatives were engaged in a life and death
struggle was unquestionably a factor in the large number of voluntary enlistments of
foreign-born in our forces, especially of men who might have claimed exemption from
the draft. Nevertheless, the very fact that they did serve with our colors, even under
the handicap of often imperfect understanding of the English language, speaks for
itself.
The Commission has tried to give as much information regarding the foreign-born
dead as of our native-born. Sources of information have, of course, been more scanty,
but pains have not been spared.
In reporting the causes of death other than battle death, all deaths attributed
in the official records to disease have been so stated without specifying the disease,
although a very large proportion of the deaths from disease overseas were directly or
indirectly gas casualties.
Thus it is found that 2,717 men were killed in action or died of wounds received
in action; 894 died overseas of disease; 176 died overseas by reason of accidental in-
juries or drowning; 10 died overseas from causes not listed above; 49 died at sea of
disease, and 10 died at sea from accidental causes; 21 were lost at sea; and in the
United States, including the Canal Zone, and home possessions, 205 died from
accidents including drowning, 1,683 died of disease, and 6 from causes not listed
above.
In many instances names of men for whom streets or squares have been named
will not be found in this record, for the reason that they died after discharge or were
not at time of entry into service actual citizens of Massachusetts. Men who died after
separation from the service, or release from active duty by the Navy, are not included
in the record. Names of men who are known to have died from disability incurred in
the service, and whose death took place within sixty days after discharge, have been
placed in a supplementary list, in which also are the records of a number of men who
seem to be entitled to a place in our record, although technically credited to other
states; but this record is far from complete, and it is reserved for future publication.
Massachusetts men who died in the Canadian or Allied services are included in
our record. This roll is incomplete. It is estimated that at least seven hundred Massa-
chusetts men died while serving with the Canadian forces, but the names of at least
PREFACE
half of these have not been recovered, in spite of earnest inquiry. Had this compila-
tion been begun during or immediatel}' after the war tlie result would have been more
satisfactory.
Any compilation of this character is necessarily incomplete. It is hoped that
corrections and additions will be immediately made known to the Commission, to be
entered upon an interleaved copy of the record which will be maintained in the office
of the chairman of the Commission.
In closing, the Commission desires to express its appreciation of the services of
Miss Anna V. Martin, whose duties have been manifold, as well as of all who have
been concerned, either as regular or temporary assistants on full or part time.
This record is the most complete yet published, and should serve more purposes
than a testimonial to the memory of those who gave their lives for their country.

four circuits of the aerodrome. . . . On the first circuit he destroyed one enemy aeroplane on
the ground, which burst into flames. . . . On the third circuit he repeated this performance,
setting on fire another Fokker biplane. His dash and skill very materially helped in the success

D. S. C. and Navy Cross: "For extraordinary heroism in action in Bois de Belleau, June 11,
1918, and near Vierzy, France, July 18, 1918. In the Bois de Belleau, when all the officers of
his company had become casualties, he displayed marked heroism in leading his men forward
in the face of heavy machine-gun fire, assisting in the capture of many machine-guns. Near
Vierzy he fearlessly exposed himself to enemy machine-gun and artillery fire, directing personally
the reduction of strong points. He was killedat the head of his men while leading an advance."
Croix de Guerre with gilt star: "At Vierzy on July 18, 1918, he assembled the elements of
different companies and led them forward during the attack. Was killed during the action."
Cited in G. O. 88: "Displayed unusual heroism, courage, coolness and utter disregard of
personal danger under trying circumstances, northeast of Vierzy on July 18, 1918. During the
second attack launched against the enemy by the second battalion, and while Captain Wass
was personally directing the reduction of a machine gun nest, fearlessly exposed himself to its
deadly fire, six friendly tanks which had been supporting the French on our left returned
through our lines bringing with them a murderous concentration of artillery fire. Controlled,
as it was, by a low flying aeroplane this fire soon destroyed four of the six tanks. With the
most wonderful nonchalance, and utter disregard of the bursting shells surrounding him.
Captain Wass went along his battle torn line calming the excited, and reassuring the faint
heart. By his superb bravery he kept his line intact, and moved toward the enemy with a
cane swinging easily in his hand."
G. O. 53: "He collected the remnants of all companies about him under heavy fire, and led
them forward against the enemy at the cost of his own life."
G. O. 88: "This officer alone left of the officers of his company, with extraordinary heroism
led his men forward in the face of heavy machine gun fire and assisted in capturing many
machine guns. His courage was at all times an example for his men. This officer was killed
later in the Soissons drive."
G. O. 44: "Conspicuous for his bravery and holding qualities, especially during the period from
the 7th to the 16th of June, 1918, when after the loss of two of its commanders, he was placed
in command of a company which held an important position, and discharged his duties with
good judgment and extraordinary heroism."

and for extreme coolness under shell fire in the performance of his duty as Chief Burial Officer,
5th Corps, during the Meuse-Argonne operations. '
Croix de Guerre with palm: "During the advance from the Ourcq to the Vesle from July 31
to Aug. 6, 1918, he carried out his duties heedless of danger and without interruption under a
violent fire. By his comforting words and his fine example of abnegation and bravery he
encouraged the men of his regiment who were advancing to the assault."
Recommended for D. S. C: "During the advance from Courmont to Mount St. Martin,
Chaplain Davitt worked single-handed without ceasing for anything, collecting the dead
of his Division (32d) and looking after the burial. He did this under violent fire, to which he
apparently paid no attention. While doing this work he stopped to encourage with cheerful
words and advice the enlisted men along the line who also were under fire. The results of
his work were 125 American soldiers buried, many wounded cared for, and soldiers in the
line encouraged."
Cited for bravery August 6, 1918, during operations along the Vesle River: "To rescue 40
wounded soldiers who were temporarily isolated from their command, he led a party of vol-
unteers through a hail of machine gun bullets. All were rescued and returned to their com-
mand without the loss of a single man."
Cited for bravery Oct. 20, 1918, during the Argonne offensive: "To rescue three wounded sol-
diers, he leaped over the top of the trench, and, under enemy machine-gun fire, dragged them
to safety one by one."

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 two of the enemy and dispersing the

"It was on his second trip across when out of the darkness of the April night a German tor-
pedo crashed through the U. S. S. 'Lake Moor.' The vessel was doomed, but still it plunged
on. 'Abandon ship!' came the Captain's order, but who could launch a lifeboat with the
propellers madly churning the sea.^ An officer called for volunteers to go to the engine room
and shut off steam. There was a moment of silence. The men huddled together and hid
their faces, for every hatchway was a scalding kettle. Then some one ran forward and cried,
'I'll try it, sir!' No one has ever known how, but it was done. And some moments later,
when the last lifeboat had cleared the scene, thej' passed his name about in lowered voices,
as a thing of wonder."
