I have three photos showing the 250th arriving in New York Harbor at the end of the war. on board the SS COSTA RICA VICTORY. I bought them on ebay; I bought three; two others, showing mostly troops, went to another bidder. I was more interested in the three I bought because they showed the harbor and not the men. I cannot attach them because each file to too big.
The 250th trained at Camp McCoy, WI. The unit on which I wrote my Ph.d thesis, the 978th Engineer Maintenance Company, trained there at the same time. As I think you know, the Camp McCoy newspaper, THE REAL McCoy, carried stories written by the un its stationed at the post.
According to the 978th's unofficial history, the 978th ran into both the 250th and 251st in Holland and Germany.
QUESTION: Can you tell me the name of the ship on which they sailed to the ETO AND THE DATE they sailed?
Thanks.
