Excerpt from Report of the Commission on Massachusetts' Part in the World War, Vol. 1: HistoryThe special Commission on Massachusetts' Part in the World War was established by Chapter 408, Acts of 1923. Chapter 367, Acts of 1924, gave to the Commission the additional duty of compiling a Gold Star Record of Massachusetts, and Chapter 18, Acts of 1926, continued the Commission until its work should be concluded.The first legislation contemplated the accomplishment of the original duty of the Commission in three years, but the Legislature of 1924 added so materially to the duties of the Commission as to double its task. Later legislation called for the compilation and publication of the Gold Star Record in advance of the work for which the Commission was originally appointed. The Gold Star Record was printed in 1929. Since the publication of that volume, corrections and additions to that extensive record have been few and mostly inconsequential, and affect but 19 records. Such a limited number of corrections out of 5771 individual service records, entailing in connection with the required family records mention of approximately individuals and many more dates, speaks well for the care with which that record was compiled.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
