People often email to me, asking if I have rosters
of the Spruce Squadrons who served in the First World
War in Washington and Oregon. For the most part, I
do not, and generally cannot connect a soldier's name with
a particular unit.
See my Spruce Squadron history page
for general information about these units that served in
the U. S. in 1918.
There is
an article on Wikipedia that discusses the Spruce Production Division history
and operations
.
The Wikipedia article mentions that:
At the U.S. National Archives in Seattle,
there are approximately 187 cubic feet (5.3 m3) of records related to the division,
as well as "a complete roster of all military personnel in the Spruce
Production Division as of 1 November 1918."[5]
The reference given with this statement is:
article about
the National Archives material describing the Spruce Squadrons.
Here are the rosters that I do have, stored as PDF files:
