In the book "The Great War" A guide to the Service Records of all the Worlds Fighting Men and Volunteers. By Christina K. Schaeffer pub by the Genealogical Publishing Co.. There is talked about National Archives Record Group 127, Marine records. This group has alphabetical card lists of enlised men 1798-1941, deaths of enlisted men 1838-1942, discharges of enlisted men 1829-1927, casualty card lists 1776-1945, muster rolls 1798-1945 (T1118) among other records.
