March 6, 1919. The 27th Infantry returns, the 116 Ammo Train is set to.

Officers of the 27th Infantry, a unit of the New York National Guard, on the day of their return to New York on the Leviathan.
And the men of the same unit.  Note the one smoking a cigarette, something that had only just become socially acceptable for men, due to World War One.

On this day in 1919, the 27th Infantry, one of New York's large National Guard contingent in the Great War, returned home.  



And the 116th Ammunition Train was set, or maybe not, to return home to Wyoming.
