Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Format is 7.75 inches by 10.75 inches. Volume I ONLY. xi, [1], 390 pages. Maps in pocket on back cover Cover has wear and soiling. Inside the front cover is stamped the following statement: This book is distributed by the Secretary of the Commonwealth. It is the property of the society or organization to which it has been issued as provided by statute. It must not be appropriated by any individual member. This is the second volume in order of publication. The first published volume, The Gold Star Record of Massachusetts, is the companion volume to the present work and together they constitute the report of the Commission. There is also a statement on page "x" that "The Commission believes that it would require another volume as large as this to adequately describe the activities of the various civilian organizations, and an immense amount of research to gather and select the material which would be needed to compile such a work." The Commissioners also commented that these civilian organizations were significantly involved in the efficient handling of the influenza epidemic. It is not clear whether this latter effort was ever completed. The two publications which together constitute the Report of the Commission can, and should, be considered as individual and separate works. On April 6, 1917 after a series of provocations, America entered the war on the side of the Allies which included France, Italy, Great Britain and Russia. Massachusetts played a large role in the war effort. The 26th "Yankee" Division, made up largely of Massachusetts National Guard units, was the first full US Army division to deploy to France. The 26th fought in six campaigns. The Massachusetts National Guard also mobilized Company L, 372d Infantry Regiment composed of African American soldiers from Boston and Cambridge. Thousands of Army recruits were processed and trained at Camp Devens, while recruits for the Navy were processed through the Boston Naval Shipyard. Several dozen military installations and activities were established in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts State Guard, the state militia that replaced the National Guard serving in France, recruited women to serve as nurses marking the first time women served in the militia. Hundreds of factories in the state manufactured weapons, clothing, shoes, and equipment for both American and Allied armies. Large numbers of women entered the work force and, for the first time, women were allowed to enlist in the US Armed Forces. On the home front, individual citizens and voluntary associations supported the war effort by purchasing war bonds, collecting metal for reuse, planting gardens, and sending letters and parcels to troops overseas. World War I changed Massachusetts, the nation and the world. Rapid wartime social change brought political transformations such as the 18th Amendment to the Constitution prohibiting alcohol, and the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. Despite not joining the League of Nations, the United States emerged as a world power, and the new maps of Europe and the Middle East drawn after the Armistice created issues that still resonate today. Over 189,000 Massachusetts men and women served in the US Armed Forces with some serving Allied forces during the war. Massachusetts paid a steep price with the death of 5,775 of its sons and daughters who died in service. After the war, hundreds of veterans died from their wounds or from exposure to gas.…
