Bedford County's Role In The Wars

World War I    1917~1919

  During the First World War, the draft of young men to serve in the army was referred to as conscription. The word was derived from the verb 'to enroll.'

  The first selective service law enacted to conscript young men into the United States Army was passed for registration on 05 June 1917. It resulted in 9,586,508 men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one being enrolled and 625,000 being picked and sent to begin training. The registration was repeated a year later, on the 5th of June and the 24th of August 1918 for men who had reached twenty-one years of age by those dates. The second selective service law was passed to include all men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five not included in the first draft. It resulted in the enrollment of over 13,000,000 men.

  The registration of able bodied men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one that was scheduled for the 5th of June 1917, took place at the polling places in each of the townships and boroughs. The assessors of those municipalities were instructed in how to take the men's names. A heavy penalty was imposed on any man who failed to register.

  A review board was established consisting of Dr. Walter Hill, Sheriff Andrew Dodson and Prothonotary Charles Mock.

  In the registration process, the young men signed their names on numbered sheets. From that point, they were identified only by the numbers. The review board marked the sheets to note which of the men would be exempted from serving. The remaining men's numbers were randomly drawn as in any lottery. The men whose numbers were drawn in that lottery were expected to present themselves for military service.

  It should be noted that a fire destroyed many records on the night of 12 July 1973 at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Most of the rosters from World War I were lost in that conflagration. The lists reproduced below are derived from the pages of the Bedford Gazette and include men who registered and were called for examination and men who actually left on the trains headed to the east coast from which they would travel overseas. The lists of registrants provide no proof of service, but the lists of the young men who actually boarded the trains headed for Camp Lee and other camps suggest that they actually served in Europe.

  The Bedford Gazette issues of 13 July and 20 July 1917 published the names of 2800 young men who registered for the conscription. The list bore the heading: "The Gazette Publishes These for the Purpose of File and Future Reference and That People May See Who Have Registered and Who Have Not. The Drawing of Soldiers for This List Will Likely Take Place This Week or Not Later Than Next and the Exemption Board Will Meet Immediately After Draft, When Claims for Exemption Must Be Presented Without Delay. There Were 2800 Registered. One Out of Every 20 Will Be Selected or Bedford County Must Furnish 1440 As Its Quota."

  The names of the first four hundred men to be chosen were published in the 24 August and the 31 August 1917 issues of the Bedford Gazette. Alongside various of the names were printed the reasons for their exemption from service. Some of those exemptions included 'dependent parents' or 'dependent wife' or simply 'rejection.' At least one individual was noted as exempted due to 'religious belief.'

  On Friday, 21 September 1917, the Gazette reported that "72 Bedford County Sons Answered Nation's Call Wed." According to the article, "The boys requested that no demonstration be made of their departure and there was none." Included in that first group were: (from) Alum Bank: Ralph M.

  Fifty young men left Bedford County on Tuesday, 12 February 1918 headed for Camp Lee. Unlike the subdued departure of the boys in September of the previous year, the embarkation of the boys onto the train this time was joined with a band and nearly one thousand people to see them off.

  On 22 March 1918, the Bedford Gazette provided another list of "names of the young men who were called by the draft board at Bedford, for examination for military service, Thursday."

  On 02 April 1918, a list of men who were "called for examination" was published in the Gazette. The 05 April 1918 issue of the Gazette provided a list of young men to be examined on April 9th and a second list of young men to be examined on April 10th.

  The Oscar Jordan Post of the V.F.W. at Hyndman sponsored the production of a book devoted to the men from Hyndman and the surrounding region who served in the two world wars. The names of eight men who served in World War I, but who were not mentioned in the newspaper articles, included Charles A. Deckerhoff, Floyd G. Hite, Virgil Carl Hite, Walter G. Leydig, Clyde E. Logsdon, James Henry Pick, John Irvin Ritchey and Leroy Schleuss.

  The first casualties of Bedford County boys in the Great War were reported in the Bedford Gazette in the issue of 06 September 1918. The headline stated: "Three Bedford County Boys Killed in Action / Five Are Severely Wounded." The article named Howard Pardoe Booty of Bedford, William S. P. Cathers of Pavia and Adolphus Andrew Hymes of Schellsburg as having been killed. The wounded soldiers were Reuben Henry Gardner of Pavia, George Washington Clark of Everett, George Mowry of Kegg, Samuel H. Ickes of Wolfsburg and Burtram Leader of Bedford.

  An item that came out of the First World War should be mentioned here. In September 1917, the design of a special flag was entered into the Congressional Record. Commonly known as the 'blue star flag', the flag had the same ten to nineteen ratio as the United States flag. It consisted of a red field with a horizontal white rectangle in the center. Within the rectangle were two five-point blue stars. The flag was created to be presented to families who had a family member in the service during the War. The flag later evolved as the Gold Star flag during the Second World War, and has continued as such to the present day.

  On 20 September 1918, the Gazette reported that Oscar Dull of Point was killed in action. Murry College of Breezewood and Alexander Livingston of Reynoldsdale were reported as severely wounded. And Harry Zeigler of Spring Hope was reported as missing. Two months later, in the 29 November 1918 issue of the Gazette, Alexander McPherson Russell was reported as having been killed in action.

  On November 11, 1918 the Great War, subsequently known as World War I, came to an end. An armistice was signed by Germany in a railroad carriage at Compiegne at 5:00am with a ceasefire scheduled to begin at 11:00am. The formal end of the war came on 28 June 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.

  In 1930, as part of the WPA program, all of the veterans of World War I who were still living were interviewed about their war experience. The following list, therefore, is not a complete list of all of the young men who served in World War I, but the ones who served and later came back to reside in Bedford County after the War. The names which appear in italics denoted men whose birth in Bedford County is questionable.
