[Genealib] Abbreviation "P T"

[Drew Smith]

So far as I can tell, the phrase "Pacific Theater" wasn't used prior to
World War II (1941, specifically).

The first notation reads:  Left US for P T (or J--this is where the script
confuses her) 12/5/1914 

The second notation reads:  Arrived US from P T (or J) 10/8/1917

She knows that he was in France from 1918-1919 and was eventually discharged
in June 1920.  Her question is: What is the destination between 1914  and
1917.  

Could be the Pacific Theater.
