World War I service questionnaires, 1914-1918.

This series contains military service questionnaires and photographs of Utah's World War I veterans. The survey was the result of a gubernatorial request to the State Council of Defense that a War History of the State be compiled; when the council disbanded, the Historical Society continued the project. The questionnaire form includes general information, induction information, overseas service data, promotions, casualties, and remarks. The forms also asked that a photograph be returned with the questionnaire. General information gives personal and family history. Induction information provide dates, branch of service, and training camp data. Overseas service information includes transport and service dates and place. Promotions information includes rank, military training, discharge date, and any citations. Casualties are listed: date, place, and cause of death.
