In the Record of events for the 26 Ordnance Casual Company for March 1919 this is what is written:

"This Company left Atelier de Mehun sur Yevre APO 741 at 11 o'clock a.m. March 5th, 1919 per S. O. 152 par Hq. Atelier de Mehun sur Yevre APO 741 and arrived at Guitres (Gironde) APO 911 12:00 noon March 6th 1919, becomming one unit of the 4th Ordnance Evacuation Battalion.

This Company was formed Feb. 15th 1919 per S.O. 135 par 4 Hq. Atelier de Mehun sur Yevre APO 741 dated February 13th 1919.

Sgt. Breslin, Clarence E. 208153 died of stab wound about 3:30 p.m. March 26th received at La Guirande (Gironde) on the night of March 25th 1919, not in the line of duty."

Signed
C.G. Hurd
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.
