World War I Veterans' Records now Available at State's Digital Archives
The state Digital Archives has a new program allowing people to access records of about 48,000 World War I veterans from Washington.
Copies of World War I Service Statement Cards from 1917 to 1919, recently indexed by Washington Historical Records Project volunteers, are now available and searchable online at the Digital Archives. The United States War Department had originals of the cards, and copies were provided to the Washington State Auditor many years ago.
To search, go to http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/TitleInfo.aspx?TID=640. For more information on the World War I Service Statement Cards and related records, contact the Washington State Archives at (360) 586-1492 or visit its Web site at http://www.secstate.wa.gov/archives/archives_state.aspx.
