About this title

Synopsis

The only book of its kind, The Great War attempts to catalogue World War I service records and related sources for the soldiers of all countries participating in the war, from Britain, Germany, and France, to Russia, Canada, and the U.S.; and from India, Australia, and Japan, to South Africa and Brazil.

Reviews

Realizing that surviving veterans of World War I would be in their late nineties and that the Great War was finally passing from "living memory," Schaefer (director emeritus, Annandale, Virginia Family History Ctr.) saw the need for a guide to service records to assist those seeking World War I information. Her book is divided into three parts. The first includes a time line and background on military organization and the types of records available. The second lists alphabetically all the nations involved in the war, with each entry including a brief description of the country's wartime role, information on conscription, types of records available, and a list of suggested readings. The final section covers the war's aftermath, including a chart detailing the redrawn political boundaries. Schaefer has done an excellent job in gathering this information and presenting it clearly. Highly recommended for genealogy collections.?Linda L. McEwan, Elgin Community Coll.,
