In the book Final Report On The Battlefield Of Gettysburg, Vol. III, dated 1902, its mentioned that there was a New York Day at Gettysburg in the late 1800's to dedicate the New York monument. The book went on to say that all New York veterans were invited to attend, and those interested were provided passage. Does anyone know if there was ever a list kept of those who participated? Also, do you know if there was ever a list kept of those who were issued the New York Medal Of Honor? Any Information on either question would be appreciated Bob Farrell

Lawrence was captain in NY 144th Regiment until 1818 and was living in Hyde Park, Dutchess, NY in 1840. Additional information gratefully accepted. Gene L. Thompson genethom@buffnet.net

Hi...I'm new to the list and was hoping someone could help.. My father-in-law always claimed that he took part in the Punitive Action against Pancho Villa in Mexico with a New York Guard troop....he was from Troy, Rensselaer County, New York. What National Guard troop took part in the Punitive Action? Are the military records available for NY Guard personnel for that action? Where are the records housed? Thank you for any assistance.

I am new to this list, so forgive me if this question has been asked previously. I understand my gr-grandfather died in the Spanish American War, but he was a Cuban fighting against the US. Does anyone know of any website that would list the casualties of both sides of the war???? I really would appreciate any information. Thanks Bill Hinkle Wichita Kansas

I am researching the Drake Family from Genesee County, New York We know that, at least, two of the family members served in the War of 1812 and several in the Civil War, but can't find anything after that. Is anyone else searching the Drakes and if so, do you have any information that may be of help? Possible names in the Fields family: John Elias Fields b 8/28/1838 Judson Fields b 2/11/1850 Joseph Fields b 2/11/1850 John certainly was old enough to be in the Civil War. I don't know about the twins. Any help is appreciated.

Re: WWI Lost Battalion, To Jim Albrecht. Wonderful post on that subject. I just finished reading an account in Laurence Stallings' , "The Doughboys," (1963 Harper & Row, Library of Congress # 62-14547). If I'm not mistaken Stallings was a marine with the 2nd Division. He also co-authored (with Maxwell Anderson) "What Price Glory" which (I think) made a stage play and two motion pictures. The battalion is given only a chapter in this work but it is still worth reading. Though out of print, Amazon tracked it down for me within one month. I have a soft spot for marines in that I am still alive because a marine pilot took an interest in an old B-29 that was being given a bad time by some MIG 15s up near the Yalu on New Years Eve 1952.

No connections [except that I am an old long out of uniform Marine, and you have one in your tree-- Since we're [Marines] all brothers, then I guess you & I are some sort of cousins.<g>]-- But my grandfather Elbrecht was in the 77th Division [he was in the 302d engineers] & the "Lost Bn." always catches my eye. For some interesting reading, try to find in a used bookstore or by ILL; (caution- there was also a WWII 'LostBn', at the battle of the bulge-- and a Vietnam one at Hue). a small paperback; _The Lost Battalion_ by Thomas M. Johnson & Fletcher Pratt, Published by The Infantry Journal, Washington, 1943. In their introduction the authors, a war correspondent and a historian point out that "it was not a Bn, but parts of four; it was never lost; it did not rush rashly ahead...; if..Major Whittlesey had his way it would not have attacked at all; [it wasn't his fault at all]; and Major Whittlesey did not say "Go to hell!" So their take is somewhat different than a lot of accounts-- for better or worse, they had the advantage of 20 years having passed-- they name lots of names-- but it has no index. another one I mean to buy someday; "History and Rhymes of the Lost Battalion" by "Buck Private" McCollum with sketches by Franklin Sly and Tolman R. Reamer. It was copyrighted initially in 1919 with subsequent 1921,1922, 1923 and 1929 copyright dates. In the front of the book is a picture of a Lieutenant Colonel Charles W. Whittlesey, and a group picture of the survivors of the Lost Battalion. The group picture of the "Lost Battalion" was taken in France. In the book is a description of the battle, a sketch of the location of the French, German and American troops for the battle. There are also pictures of various officers of the unit. Some of the poetry in the book is dedicated to specific people. and... There are a few pages in _The History of the 77th Division 1917-1918_ on the incident itself & much more on the 308th- though the focus is much broader than a book about the 308th or the incident would ever be. It covers the 77th from Camp Upton to France & home again. jim

Hi I am new to this list. Does the military list include Rough Riders? If so I'm looking for info on a James E Mcguire, 1850-1922, Troop L stationed in Chelsea. He was in a battle at El Poso in 1898. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you... Christy McGuire
