737th Railway Operating Battalion partial roster

Scott is researching his Dad Walter and says



"I did find a roster from what I believe was their trip home in 1945.  I've attached a jpg with the image of the document.

According to this they were staged in Luzon, P.I.  and traveled back on ship # APA 121."

  1. This is actually a passenger list from the USS Hocking (APA-121) which was transporting the 737th Railway Operating Battalion from Luzon to Japan for Occupation duty in October 1945. The remaining roster of Company B as well as the other companies in the Battalion can be found on Fold3.com under the Muster Rolls for the USS Hocking.
