Excerpt from War History, Tide Water Companies
This book is not intended as a glorification of war or of Tide Water"s part in the war. It is rather a tribute to the men and women of all the Tide Water Companies who served directly or indirectly. What Tide Water as an organization did for the country was made possible by the devotion of the individuals. With faithful industry the company supplied the fuel so necessary for the prosecution of the war.
As individuals many Tide Water men and women gave more direct service. Tide Water was represented in nearly every branch of service - military and non-military. We will long remember with pride the record of our men who entered the army and navy. Those men who were over age rendered valuable service in other ways. Our women worked hard in the tasks allotted them.
These pages cannot cover the experiences of all, interesting though they may be. We only hope to give a general idea of the activities of our several companies and employes and to record Tide Water"s appreciation of their part in bringing the war to a successful termination.
