PVT. LUTHER L. DOLLAR U. S. VETERINARY HOSPITAL NO. 15 A.E.F. WW1

Pvt. Luther Lafayette Dollar WW1

Hello Greg
I wanted to thank you for your research efforts for the Vet Hosp No.15. It has helped me make sense of several postcards and Carte Postale from a great uncle Luther Lafayette Dollar who must have served as a Private with the Vet Hosp #15.

Most of the cards are pictures of him or him with other soldiers in uniform, but there is a "Department for Reception of Returning Troops Y.M.C.A. card confirming their return on the Pueblo on July 13, 1919, at Merrit N.J. There are also a couple of pictures of the Pueblo and one of the U.S. Army Transport Docks in Hoboken N.J.

If any of these photos can be of assistance, please let me know and I can scan them and send you the file.

I've attached scans of all the postcards that I had in the collection from my great uncle. Please feel free to use as few or as many as might be helpful. Thanks again for all your efforts.

Thanks again, Greg

Gina

French and American soldier postcard to mother.

The text from the back of postcard with the picture of French and American soldier from Luther Lafayette Dollar to his mother seems to confirm that the unit expected to leave in June 1919, but the back of the Well Done Men postcard indicates that they did return on July 13, 1919.

Unidentified group Carte Postale. Note: I believe this was taken at Camp Lee, Virginia before they went overseas. I can see no shoulder patches, ribbons or overseas chevrons that would indicate that it was taken at the end of the war. They seem to be dressed like those in the long panoramic picture of VH No. 15 on the main page - Greg Krenzelok
