Excerpt from Utah in the World War: The Men Behind the Guns and the Men and Women Behind the Men Behind the Guns
In the preparation of a memorial book for a limited edition to be distributed among the heads of the several councils and committees who directed the activities of the army of civilians with-out whose Whole-hearted services mere fight ing would have been useless, it has been deemed desirable to curtail particulars of transient or purely personal interest and present a general outline of wartime conditions, opera tions and issues as they affected the people of Utah.
To follow the movements of enlisted men from this state would be to write a history of the war during a dreadful year and a half of incessant fighting, for there were Utah boys among the Allies on every front and in almost every battle after we got fairly started. Any satisfactory account of their military exploits would require many such volumes and must be left to the future. This record has no such pre tentions aim. The information it is intended to preserve has been condensed in order to print, for the first time, a bare list of those who wore the uniform, while a register of all who served faithfully with'out uniforms would be at least as long again.
