Chase served in Battery A of the Light Artillery, Massachusetts Militia, in the early 1900s, enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve and commanded the U.S.S. Malay in anti-submarine service during World War I, and again served in the Coast Guard Reserve during World War II. A logbook of U.S. Coast Guard vessel 1001 is included.

These books were apparently kept by J.P. Bradlee.
