Records available at the Tennessee State Library & Archives indicate five Pickett County veterans completed questionnaires about their service during World War I.

The World War I questionnaire project (TSLA Record Group 239) was part of an effort to gather and preserve the history of Tennessee’s involvement in what was then known as the Great War. On January 24, 1919 the state legislature resolved that a committee of 25 be appointed, to be known as the Tennessee State Historical Committee, part of whose duties was to “collect, compile, index and arrange all data and information of every kind and character relating to the part Tennessee has played in the Great War.”
