WAR RECORDS

The lists of Maltbys-Maltbies, who have served their country in the various wars our country has been involved in since its infancy should prove of interest to all Maltbys.

These records are far from complete but they have been collected wherever possible and it is the hope of the compiler that they will act as an impetus to kinsmen to send in further data concerning those Maltbys they may know of who in like manner served their country.

These lists would be far more fragmentary were it not for the kindness of Miss Achsah Adelia Maltby of Seattle who very kindly copied all printed lists obtainable there at the library.

The first list contains the names of Maltbys who held military rank, but owing to age, were not available for any actual war, some being born too late or too soon or having died prior to the outbreak of war.
