I've seen the troop ships records and I do know that he was on the America which became the West Point. I also looked at the other site unfortunately my grasp of geography plus the sheer numbers of camps is daunting. Possibly there were newspapers in London that kept track of these ships as they arrived? Of course that could have been censored information. If anyone is able to give me a starting point for research I can take it from there. Also, would most troop ships have left from Liverpool on their way to France? Thank you for taking the time to answer my query. I appreciate your help. Adrienne
