The Repatriation of Fallen US Servicemen (From AGRS to JMAC) ( mortuary cars)

Naomi shares her amazing slide presentation " First of all, it was very interesting to tour your Military Railway Service blog. I can see why our presentation would be of interest. However, Jim and I are currently revising it as we have found more accurate information for a few details.

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."
