    From the New Mexico Genealogist Military Issue, December 2003, pp. 235-238.

    While reading and indexing the Albuquerque Morning Journal for the year 1918, I discovered a listing appearing 11 December 1918, on page (B)1, naming 116 New Mexico men that died during the war. Sixty-five were killed in action, thirty-one died of their wounds, and twenty died of other causes such as illness or accident. I felt this listing may be of importance to the genealogical researcher.

    World War I Service records are available from the National Personnel Center (Military Records), NARA, 9700 Page Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63132-5100. NARA form SF180 for requesting service records may be obtainable from your local genealogical library. For further information, see http://www.archives.gov/facilities, which gives specific guidelines and restrictions for obtaining military service records, and includes a downloadable form.
