35th Infantry Division

The 35th Infantry Division is documented in the book through records of its World War I operations and a congressional inquiry into its losses during the Argonne battle. These sources establish the division as a collective military formation whose campaign history and casualties were subjects of official record, though the cited material here does not give its composition, commanders, or a detailed account of its actions.

World War I Record

An official history titled 35th Division: Summary of Operations in the World War, published by the American Battle Monuments Commission in 1944, records the division’s wartime operations. Its appearance among the book’s sources places the division within the documented military history surrounding the Argonne campaign, without specifying the contents of its operations in the evidence available here.

Argonne Losses and Congressional Inquiry

A 1919 hearing before the House Committee on Rules addressed the losses of the Thirty-fifth Division during the Argonne battle. The hearing’s title shows that the division’s casualties became a matter of congressional inquiry after the fighting. The available evidence does not detail the losses or the hearing’s findings, but it links the division’s battlefield history to public scrutiny of wartime costs.

Documentary Significance

The division is represented here through two distinct kinds of record: an official operational summary and a congressional hearing focused on losses. Together, they frame its historical presence through both military activity and the accounting of casualties, while leaving the particular events and conclusions of those records unspecified.
