OFFICE OF INFORMATION. -- WASHINGTON, D.C. UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, 1946. WORLD WAR II HONOR LIST OF DEAD AND MISSING: STATE OF NEW YORK. ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE. WASHINGTON: WAR DEPARTMENT, 1946. Original monthly rosters of officers and enlisted men for each unit of the New York Guard, 1940-1946. These bound forms list the current monthly strength of the units (by names of individuals) plus any new enlistments and soldiers dropped from the unit. The New York Guard was formed as the state military force when New York National Guard units were activated for federal service at the beginning of World War II. The people who received these medals were all affliated with New York in some way: some were born here, some entered service here, others were born here, lived here and entered service here.​​​​​​​ These rosters were compiled by the New York State Adjutant General Office. They were published as a set of 43 volumes between 1893 and 1905. Their official titles are Annual Report of the Adjutant-General of the State of New York for the Year ... : Registers of the [units numbers]. These should not be confused with the regular reports put out by the New York Adjutant General during the same period. The New York State Adjutant General Reports are the reports given to the New York State Legislature by the head of the New York National Guard, the Adjutant General, or AG. Most years listed all of the officers in the NYNG and their unit affiliations; many years have a name index. The New York National Guardsman was a magazine published monthly from April, 1924 to August, 1940 when much of the New York National Guard was federalized for duty. It is a good source of photographs and biographical information on higher-ranking officers. These 'yearbooks' of the 27th Infantry Division's infantry regiments were published while training at Camp Wadsworth, South Carolina.
