Madisonians serving in World War I

Click on the links below to see the information on the Madisonians that served the war effort during WW I
                                                        What’s Here?
         The history of World War I is well documented on a global and national level. On a local level, there are monuments and plaques which list names. This is an attempt to bring a little life to the list of names for Madison, New Jersey.  Research completed by Jim Malcolm
There are web pages for:
         Individual Service Records for Madison residents. Most of them are for military individuals, but there                        existed a large support system of Red Cross, Salvation Army, YMCA, individual Ministers from local                            churches, etc. who also contributed both domestically and on the front in Europe.
         Individual Service Records for non-Madison residents. The Madison Eagle reported on many former                            residents or the children of residents. One source of names for this project was the American Legion who                decorates graves of veterans buried in Madison and Florham Park graveyards. Many of these veterans                      moved to Madison from elsewhere.
         Letters from camp or Europe “clipped” from the Madison Eagle.
         Lists of parishioners serving in the military from the churches in Madison.
         Newspaper articles recognizing families with multiple members in the service.
         Newspaper articles about the war effort and Madison’s contribution.
