Marchville1918 Posted July 4, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 4, 2018 Those dates that I gave above refer to the unit not necessarily to the soldier named on the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenkursk Posted July 4, 2018 Share #5 Posted July 4, 2018 Army Transportation Records indicate that he was from Lebanon, PA, and sailed (with Bakery Company No. 343, National Army) on April 6, 1918 aboard America. He is listed under "Unit Number 11", as a Corporal. He sailed home aboard President Grant on May 28, 1919; same rank, same organization, though sub-units are not noted on the manifest.

Shenkursk Posted July 4, 2018 Share #6 Posted July 4, 2018 His Pennsylvania Veterans Service & Compensation Card: He appears to have been in a family that was bound and determined to live in someplace called "Lebanon", no matter the city, county, state, etc.!

AustinO Posted July 5, 2018 Share #8 Posted July 5, 2018 His Pennsylvania Veterans Service & Compensation Card: speicher1.JPG He appears to have been in a family that was bound and determined to live in someplace called "Lebanon", no matter the city, county, state, etc.! His WWII card lists place of birth as Lebanon PA - so must be an error on the WWI service card. I checked to see if he was a baker in later life - steelworker.
