The Muster Field in Framingham, Massachusetts, has sent Massachusetts men to war at least as far back as the Civil War. Called Camp McGuinness, it was located at the junction of Concord Street and Route 9. A small park contains a modest memorial to the division and a stone marks the spot where the division chaplain said Mass for the many Catholic soldiers. 9. Sibley, With the Yankee Division, 19–20.

The Depot Brigade was created to screen, classify, and to fill the manpower needs notes to pages 7–13 { 243 of the various units composing the 26th Division. Col. James Lung Bevans described the brigade: “After the organization of a Depot Brigade the work of classification was greatly facilitated. The Brigade was used as a collecting point for scattered personnel and also a place where doubtful cases might be sent. Surplus medical personnel was centralized there. No other feature in the organization of the Division helped so much as did the establishment of this Depot Brigade” (emphasis added). Bevans, Medical History, 1, NA RG120. 24. Charles M.
