Can anyone give me pointers on where to look for the name of the troop ship that took two Oregon boys from the 162nd to France (brothers, last name is Deetz, Edwin and Jonah)? I have looked at every source I could find online on WWI transport dates but am coming up empty. Any ideas?
I have their journey traced as follows:
With the Oregon National Guard, 2nd Bat., 162nd
Vancouver Barracks, mobilized on April 30, 1917
To Camp Withycombe, Clackamas, Oregon for training, dates unknown
To Camp Greene, NC on September 19, 1917
To Camp Mills, NY on October 22, 1917
Sailed for Fran
