1st Lt. Ord. Dept.
Commanding
The Company Return for March 1919 accounts for Sgt Breslin death as Murder or Homicide. Sgt. Breslin listed his mother, Mrs. Mary Breslin of 3005 Hackberry Street Cincinnati, Ohio as who to notify in case of emergency on the passenger manifest of the Radnor. He never made the trip and was stricked from the manifest.
Two other names were stricken from the manifest. They were Capt. Rufus I. Newell Medical Department of Washington State and 1st Lt. Eugene Williams Ord. Dept. of Grand Ridge, Illinois. Both Officers were left in France due to not sufficient room on the transport ship USS Radnor.
