Welcome Home 26th ("Yankee") Division
We have scanned the publication, "Welcome Home" In Commemoration of the Foreign Service and Home-Coming of the
26th Division, Official Programme and indexed it for your search. This publication was prepared and published by the
Committee of Welcome appointed by the Governor of Massachusetts and the Mayor of Boston as a book of salutation to the Twenty-Sixth ("Yankee")
Division of the American Expeditionary Forces. This publication includes editorial summarizing formation and organization, and service
during the war. It includes citations and a necrology (list of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice).
This history, shorter than other similar works, still contains an invaluable historical and genealogical resource. We
believe this work and those like it provide an excellent resource for family historians to understand an important part of our ancestors'
lives as they took part in the largest human event of its kind in history. As with all such works, we strongly suggest that you do
not view a particular person's inclusion or exclusion in this record
as dispositive. In order to be certain of all relevant facts, you must consult primary records such as death certificates, official
government recoords, etc.
We have scanned the pages of the original document and chopped some very large pages into smaller ones in order to make these
images more usable. Please refer to the index page and click on pages which correspond to those of interest to you. We hope you
find this resource useful but please let us know if you have any difficulty.
