While this list is almost complete there will be a few corrections. Advice has been received from the War Department that in some cases, owing to the present inaccessibility of the records, no record cards for deceased soldiers have been prepared, and in some cases the complete record is not given. It is believed, however, that preparation of records for all such cases will be completed within a short time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Abbreviations are listed at the end of the list.
