Recently, Randy posted the ship's name that the 292nd had shipped home on, the SS Hampden Sydney Victory. I ran across some manifest documents from that trip which began on Feb 21, 1946 in Le Havre, France and ended in New York Harbor on March 2, 1946. Unfortunately, there were no unit documents with passengers from the units that came home on that trip (some ships had unit lists like this).
These are all the documents that I have found from the trip.

Gary,
This is a very nice find my friend, thanks for posting it, interesting! It is my understanding that Uncle Sam intentionally destroyed (God knows why!) all the troopship manifest lists, I think sometime in the 1950's. However lists from some ships may have survived for one reason or another. My grandfather's discharge paper shows him returning stateside at this time, so I'm confident he was on this ship. Have a good one.
Randy
