If you have any materials connected to these great Army Railway units please share them here with the families of the soldiers. If you are a collector or memorabilia dealer PLEASE share copies or scans of items BEFORE you sell these priceless materials to private collectors . I will hold the copies until after they sell. It means so much to the families of the guy's that actually served in these units.

My dad was in the 713th, CO B. He never said much about his time, just that he was a railroad engineer. What he did talk about was the good time he had in France, seeing Mt. Vesuvius blow, and being sicker than a dog on the ship transport overseas.
I would like to find a copy of this book. Do you know if it is for sale anywhere?
Thank you.
You can find them on eBay sometimes. I found an excellent copy myself after looking for some time. My grandfather was a fireman in this unit. He also didn’t say much but said the same thing about being sick on the transport home.
Byron I'd love to more about your grandfather or post his photo and obit on the blog!
