MILITARY RECORDS
Military records identify individuals who served in the military or who were eligible to serve. Germany had a large army and a small navy. Since most German states had conscription laws, most young men were required to register for military service. A young man who had not yet served had to get special permission to emigrate.

•What was the Blue Army?
The Blue Army, (Blekitna Armia) or Haller’s Army (Armia Hallera), are informal names given to the Polish Army units formed in France during the later stages of World War I. (Known as the Armia Polska we Francyi ). The nicknames come from the soldier’s French blue uniforms and the name of the army’s commander, General Józef Haller de Hallenburg. An estimated 20,000 Polish descendants Christians and Jews alike, answered the call to fight for freedom and the opportunity to regain Poland’s independence during World War I The American recruits were trained at Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, Canada.
