Excerpt from York County and the World War: Being a War History of York and York County
The war time history of our community was not made solely by the bravery, the sacrifices and the victories of its soldiers, sailors, and marines. The activities of all the rest of its patriotic citizens, men, women, and children, played a vital part, whether their achievements were the result of individual effort, or of the co-ordinated work of such organizations as the American Red Cross, the War Camp Community Service, the Food Administration and others too numerous to mention, which supported every obstacle caused by the national emergency with a zeal and an unselfish devotion that make history for this old County of ours.
In recording this history, it has been the honest aim of the editors to produce accurate and complete records. The undertaking has been so immerse, however, that it is inevitable that some mistakes and omissions have been made, due to such obstacles as the failure of the relatives of some of the boys who lost their lives to send in photographs to complete the honor roll.
In the compilation of the necessary data, the editors have received much valuable assistance. Especially should recognition here be given to Mr. Grier Hersh for his kind help and encouragement. Further, without the splendid co-operation of the relatives of the boys who made the supreme sacrifice, the completion of this work would not have been possible.
It is earnestly hoped that there is given, in these pages, a general, correct and vivid picture of the wonderful and glorious sacrifices of the York County people. If in addition, this history brings us to a realization of the sacrifices of our friends, especially those that gave their all, then the aim of this work may be said to have been accomplished.
