Hi Lilly, I had three great-uncles from Portland who served in WWI. The one who went in the Army was shipped east. He (and the rest of C Co.) lived at Ft. Myer, Virginia, and trained in Maryland. The Oregon State Archives search engine has a record of enlistment in 1917 for Charles E. Leach. Could he be your grandfather?
