Regimental Roster, 23rd Engineers, U. S. A.
1919 Paperback Good+
This 82-page booklet contains a roster of all members of the 23rd Engineers of the American Expeditionary Forces who served in France during WW1. Laid in is a reunion banquet program dated March 30, 1919, which further identifies a specific unit (Company "M", Engr. Truck Co. 3) and contains a roster of the men in that unit as well as those in Company "3".) I would speculate that the roster was handed out at the banquet. The large roster contains company and the home addresses of all the regiment members. Pages are lightly tanned around edges and there is some light moisture darkening (not affecting text). Covers are gently worn, especially at spine edges. The program has been folded, shows general foxing and is a bit worn. Overall the roster is near VG; the program G+
