Organized from what had been the coastal defense force of Boston, Massachusetts, the 71st was made up of officers from the coastal defense and men, taken from the Regular Army, National Guard and National Army, primarily from the east but including a large sprinkling from the west as well.   The regiment was equipped and shipped across the pond, eventually arriving in France in late August, 1918.   The regiment was undergoing schooling and training in preparation for battle when news of the armistice arrived.   The 71st lost a dozen men to influenza but saw no action on the battlefield.

We have scanned the original publication entitled "An Illustrated History of the 71st Artillery (C.A.C.), Organized in the Coast Defense of Boston Mass. May 10, 1918, Demobilized March 6, 1919" and indexed it for your reference.   The publication includes a complete roster of each of the companies which made up the regiment.   We have indexed these separately and included an alphabetical index.   Rosters include name, rank, occupation and home address for each member of the regiment.   You may access roster information by clicking on the letter which corresponds to the first letter of the surname of the individual you are interested in.   We hope you find this information useful in your family history research.
