(U.S., Army Transport Service, Passenger Lists, 1910-1939)
================
Private Edward F. X. Sullivan was assigned to the 320th Field Hospital, of the 305th Sanitary Train, of the 80th Division, and list his mother, Mrs. Mary B. Sullivan at 2233 South Carlisle Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as the family contact on the ship's manifest prior to traveling to France in the Great War (WWI).
The Field Hospital began its training at the newly built Camp Lee, Virginia, in order to train in basic military discipline in the spring of 1918, prior to transiting to France to begin the United States participating in the Great War (WWI). After months of training, on May 15, the soldiers were confined to the area enclosed by the sanitary train and guards posted. Mail was no longer sent out. The division was now ready to sail. On the afternoon of May 17th, orders were issued to roll packs and prepare to leave. Barracks bags had been filled and shipped the previous day. About 10 p.m. on May 17, units were formed, roll call was held. All organizations in the camp, the infantry, supply trains, machine gun companies, etc. marching down the road toward City Point, not far from Richmond. About midnight (May 18th) orders were given to move. Units marched down the main road and about 3 hours, they would reach City Point around 4 o'clock in the morning with town inhabitants coming out to say good-bye. Small river steamers were boarded for the trip down the James River and about 11 o'clock they could see Newport News in the distance. The units received their final medical inspection. The people of Newport News showed their hospitality and brought out everything in the line of eatables to include ice cream, jellies, etc. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the soldiers marched down to the transport Mercury and checked-in as the reached the gang plank. They would go to the lower decks and be assigned to whatever bunk was nearest. At 8 o'clock stores were still being brought aboard and the ship was being coaled at the same time. Some soldiers preferred to sleep on deck in the open rather than below. The next morning, May 19th, the Mercury was still at the wharf but about 10 o'clock steamed out.
Private 1st Class Sullivan was promoted on March 12, 1919 just before his journey home from the Great War (WWI). He again listed his mother for the journey home.
The Field Hospital made its final journey home in mid-May 1919. After a 24 hour train ride they reached Brest, France around 1 p.m. on May 13th and marched up a steep hill for six miles to Camp Pontanazen in the heat of the afternoon. Water was in great demand for about two hours. Many were quartered in square, pyramidal squad tents and received meals at a camp kitchen. After six days in Brest, with constant physical inspections and equipment inspections, some of which were held at midnight, the men started on their last hike on French soil at 1 p.m., May 19, 1919. The six-mile hike down to the wharf was downhill all the way compared to the way they came up. At the dock, each name was called before boarding a lighter to travel to the ship Rotterdam. The next evening the ship sailed out of the Brest harbor. The ship stopped at Plymouth, England to pick up Elsie Janis and her mother. Elsie Janis entertained the troops with jokes and dancing. On Memorial Day, the ship dropped anchor off Staten Island at 6 p.m.. A tug decorated with red, white, and blue greet the ship. The next day the ship passed the Statue of Liberty. Docked at Pier 7, Hoboken, New Jersey, and once ashore were given refreshments by the welfare organization. Among the good things was apple pie. The welfare organization treated the soldiers well, a cup of hot chocolate, a piece of pie, a bag of salted peanuts, some cakes on top of the mess cup, Hershey bars, candy, chewing gum, and sandwiches galore. The troops proceeded to Jersey City by ferry and then too real passenger coaches to Camp Dix, New Jersey arriving in the mid afternoon of May 31st. Everything was sterilized that had been issued in the Army using steam sterilizers. Leather shrunk to unbelievable portions, shoes would now be fit for a baby. Next came demobilization during the next few days as troops were divided into different local camps for discharge.

================
Private Edward F. X. Sullivan was assigned to the 320th Field Hospital, of the 305th Sanitary Train, of the 80th Division, and list his mother, Mrs. Mary B. Sullivan at 2233 South Carlisle Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as the family contact on the ship's manifest prior to traveling to France in the Great War (WWI).
The Field Hospital began its training at the newly built Camp Lee, Virginia, in order to train in basic military discipline in the spring of 1918, prior to transiting to France to begin the United States participating in the Great War (WWI). After months of training, on May 15, the soldiers were confined to the area enclosed by the sanitary train and guards posted. Mail was no longer sent out. The division was now ready to sail. On the afternoon of May 17th, orders were issued to roll packs and prepare to leave. Barracks bags had been filled and shipped the previous day. About 10 p.m. on May 17, units were formed, roll call was held. All organizations in the camp, the infantry, supply trains, machine gun companies, etc. marching down the road toward City Point, not far from Richmond. About midnight (May 18th) orders were given to move. Units marched down the main road and about 3 hours, they would reach City Point around 4 o'clock in the morning with town inhabitants coming out to say good-bye. Small river steamers were boarded for the trip down the James River and about 11 o'clock they could see Newport News in the distance. The units received their final medical inspection. The people of Newport News showed their hospitality and brought out everything in the line of eatables to include ice cream, jellies, etc. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the soldiers marched down to the transport Mercury and checked-in as the reached the gang plank. They would go to the lower decks and be assigned to whatever bunk was nearest. At 8 o'clock stores were still being brought aboard and the ship was being coaled at the same time. Some soldiers preferred to sleep on deck in the open rather than below. The next morning, May 19th, the Mercury was still at the wharf but about 10 o'clock steamed out.
Private 1st Class Sullivan was promoted on March 12, 1919 just before his journey home from the Great War (WWI). He again listed his mother for the journey home.
The Field Hospital made its final journey home in mid-May 1919. After a 24 hour train ride they reached Brest, France around 1 p.m. on May 13th and marched up a steep hill for six miles to Camp Pontanazen in the heat of the afternoon. Water was in great demand for about two hours. Many were quartered in square, pyramidal squad tents and received meals at a camp kitchen. After six days in Brest, with constant physical inspections and equipment inspections, some of which were held at midnight, the men started on their last hike on French soil at 1 p.m., May 19, 1919. The six-mile hike down to the wharf was downhill all the way compared to the way they came up. At the dock, each name was called before boarding a lighter to travel to the ship Rotterdam. The next evening the ship sailed out of the Brest harbor. The ship stopped at Plymouth, England to pick up Elsie Janis and her mother. Elsie Janis entertained the troops with jokes and dancing. On Memorial Day, the ship dropped anchor off Staten Island at 6 p.m.. A tug decorated with red, white, and blue greet the ship. The next day the ship passed the Statue of Liberty. Docked at Pier 7, Hoboken, New Jersey, and once ashore were given refreshments by the welfare organization. Among the good things was apple pie. The welfare organization treated the soldiers well, a cup of hot chocolate, a piece of pie, a bag of salted peanuts, some cakes on top of the mess cup, Hershey bars, candy, chewing gum, and sandwiches galore. The troops proceeded to Jersey City by ferry and then too real passenger coaches to Camp Dix, New Jersey arriving in the mid afternoon of May 31st. Everything was sterilized that had been issued in the Army using steam sterilizers. Leather shrunk to unbelievable portions, shoes would now be fit for a baby. Next came demobilization during the next few days as troops were divided into different local camps for discharge.
