INDIVIDUAL RECORDS OF OFFICERS AND ENLISTED ΜΕΝ NOTE The records following have been compiled from information from many sources. The Bureau of War Records of the State of New York furnished over 2,700 records of enlisted men from cards sent there by the Adjutant-General, Washington. Mr. William A. Saxton, the head of the Bureau of War Records, Albany, has never spared himself to give desired information. After the Adjutant-General's Office in Washington had furnished records of the enlisted personnel, the appropriation for such work became exhausted and the Adjutant-General has found it necessary to refuse to furnish Officers' Records to the States or to individual organizations. Neither could he see his way clear to permit a representative of the 71st to come to Washington and copy these records nor to have the work done in some other way at the expense of the Regiment. Under these circumstances, Officers' Records could only be compiled through canvassing individuals. It is regretted that more complete Officers' Records cannot be given, but it is a case of publishing them as they appear here or holding back the book for an indefinite period. Errors in the records are due to errors in the official cards. The highest rank obtained during the War has been given in the records and a consistent method followed as far as possible.
