Image description: It required 19 months to transport 2,079,880 American troops to Europe but the exodus from France was much more rapid. The backward flow really did not get well under way until April, 1919. By September the last division, the 1st, was back in the United States. This photograph shows one of the earliest outfits to return, the 87th Division, loading on the transport Manchuria at St Nazaire, January 10, 1919. Illustration for US Official Pictures of the World War, showing America's Participation, selected from the official files of the War Department by William E Moore and James C Russell (Pictoria Bureau, 1920).
