BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

There are several published volumes which discuss the origin and activities of the Chemical Warfare Service in World Wat I. These include Benedict Crowell, America s Munitions, i ij-i iS (Washington GPO, 1919) Amos A. Fries and Clarence J. West, Chemical Warfare (New York McGraw Hill, 1921) and Medical Aspects of Gas Warfare, Volume XIV of the series MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE UNITED STATES IN THE WORLD WAR (Washington GPO, 1926). Volumes XV and XVI of the series UNITED STATES ARMY IN THE WORLD WAR (Washington GPO, 1948), prepared by the Historical Division, Special Staff United States Army, contain data on the Chemical Warfare Service, American Expeditionary Forces (AEF). More valuable as a source of information is the official history of the Chemical Warfare Service, American Expeditionary Forces, a copy of which is on file in the Chemical Corps Historical Office. Especially useful in this history are the appendixes which ate copies of pertinent directives. On the organizational development of the Chemical Warfare Service in the zone of interior, the most fmitful sources of information are M. T. Bogert s and W. H. Walker s History of the Chemical Service Section, on file at the Technical Library, Army Chemical Center, Maryland, and the annual reports of the CWS for the years 1918, 1919, and 1920. The retired CWS files in the National Archives contain some important documents. 

A brief account of the development of the Chemical Warfare Service from World War I up through the end of World War II appears in a volume entitled The Chemical Warfare Service in World War II A Report of Accomplishments, published in 1948. This volume was prepared by the Historical Office for the Chief of the Chemical Corps and was published by the Reinhold Publishing Corporation, New York City, for the Chemical Corps Association. The brief survey of the CWS in the peacetime period which appears in this volume is the only such account in print. The sources for this period include aimual reports of the Chemical Warfare Service, the annual reports of the Secretary of War, War Department general orders 

With the increase of CWS activities from the period of the national 

To supplement the data in these files, the author of Part I of this volume corresponded with and interviewed key soldiers of all ranks as well as civilians who participated in the events described. These letters and interviews proved extremely valuable because many times the reasons behind administrative actions were not made a matter of record. At the time of writing, these letters and interviews were on file in the Chemical Corps Historical Office. Copies of these documents will be retired to Technical Service Records Section under file reference 314.7, Interviews and Correspondence. 

In tracing the work done by the OSRD (Office of Scientific Research and Development), the NDRC (National Defense Research Committee), and other agencies, the author used published works and unpublished technical reports. The Technical Library contains many OSRD reports on chemical warfare topics. It also has the excellent series of Summary Technical Reports of various NDRC divisions. These reports are in book form, but are not available to the general reader since they arc classified. Members of the OSRD published a number of books after the war, including James P. Baxter s Scientists Against Time and Irvin Stewart s Organizing Scientific Research for War. 

The following documents were helpful in tracing German and Japanese chemical warfare equipment German Chemical Warfare, World War II, a mimeographed pamphlet issued by the Intelligence Division, CWS, Head- 

In addition to Crowell s account of CWS manufacturing activities in World War I, the author made use of two unpublished histories written shortly after the close of activities by former officers. These were Lt. Col. Edwin M. Chance s, History of Edgewood Plants and Lt. Col. William McPherson s, An Historical Sketch of the Development of Edgewood
