INFORMATION:
The World War I Service Medal issued by New York State in the United States is a World War I service medal designed by Captain Charles Joseph Dieges after being selected from over 100 submitted designs. His firm, Dieges & Clust, also manufactured the medals. Over 500,000 New Yorkers served in World War I and were eligible for this medal.
Over 500,000 New Yorkers served in the war including 13,956 who lost their lives and 25 who received the nation's highest honor, the Medal of Honor. New York regiments included the 69th Infantry Regiment, also known as the “Fighting 69th,” and the 369th Infantry Regiment, the first African-American regiment to serve in combat in the war.
Of note, most World War I Army service records were destroyed in a 1973 National Personnel Records Center fire. However, information for New York State still exists because New York's Adjutant General retrieved and preserved the information for New Yorkers.
