[Genealib] World War I document

[Deena Butta]

hope it ends up at a library through which it will end up in OCLC
FirstSearch...that would help in terms of awareness.
 
is it possibly a candidate for www.footnote.com  ?  or some other online
digital collection?

Subject: [Genealib] World War I document


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 -
