[Genealib] World War I document

[Kevin Cherry]

I would suggest that the document be sent to the Texas State Library and
archives Commission http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ or the Veterans History
Project at the American Folklife Center in the Library of Congress
http://www.loc.gov/vets/

 

It sounds like a fascinating document.

Actually, I would send it to me or some other publisher. 

 

It sounds like an interesting document that would be of interest to a
number of people and it deserves to be published.

 

I have personal research experience with an Ambulance Company in the
Great War that was raised by my alma mater, University of the South,
Sewanee, Tennessee. 

 

So I could probably add material found in the National Archives on this
company to the final work.

 

Sorry, I get excited by this kind of thing.

I would give it to the World War I Museum.  This seems the most logical.

Good morning:

 

The Mount Calm Library recently received a typewritten 25-page document
detailing the history of Ambulance Company No. 1. The author is unknown.


 

The Company was originally organized at Ft. D. A. Russell, Cheyenne, WY
in 1911; in 1915 was transferred to Ft. Bliss, El Paso, TX; in Nov. 1917
the company left for overseas, arriving in Saint Nazaire, France on Dec.
2. 

 

The documents lists the day-to-day activities of the company and also
includes a listing of all its personnel, including some home addresses
and a list of all those killed, wounded, & gassed.  The company was made
up of men from all over the U.S. - no special concentration from any one
state.

 

What shall I do with it? It would find little usage here at Mount Calm.
Should I send it to the World War I Museum in Kansas City? Or does
someone have a better idea for its preservation?  I would also be glad
to give it to a genealogical library.   Thanks for your advice -
