Infantry (First Infantry Illinois National Guard) In the World War: Narrative, Operations, Statistics Following each name will be found a notation, if killed, wounded or gassed, when necessary to so classify.

Large numbers of those so classified returned to the ranks in a few days, or a few hours after treatment, con sisting solely of warm drinks and rest. No record is obtainable, except through the War Department, con cerning men evacuated to army hospitals, general hospitals, or S. O. S.
