War Department details procedure for notifying relatives of casualties
The War Department outlines how relatives are informed within about 24 hours after casualty lists reach the United States. A statistical division maintains files of soldiers and emergency addresses, converts lists into telegrams, and dispatches notices via telegraph clerks. Delays arise from clerical errors, moved addresses, or the need to verify names, with Pershing retaining lists if military value would be compromised.
