WAR RECORDS OF MARYLAND SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

This department is co-operating with the War Records Commission
in assisting the Commission to make their records complete for publi-
cation by the official service records of the men from Maryland in the
World War as furnished the War and Navy Departments and the U.
S. Marine Corps, and from such other authentic sources that are
available to this Department.

Numerous requests are received for the service records of men who
served in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican War,
the Civil War, Spanish-American War and the World War. Every
request is complied with, without charge, if the record is available in
the Department, and when not available the applicant is advised of the
best authentic source to seek the same. Only in respect to the records
pertaining to the Revolutionary, War of 1812, and Mexican Wars are
our records rather incomplete and the incompleteness is solely due to
the methods used in those days of making and preserving records.
