1933
Household Goods list at Fort George Wright, Washington
Attached to letter dated March 17, 1933, written by Quartermaster to
Lieut. Drewry at Letterman Hospital San Francisco, Calif. It appears
that Flag and family never returned to Washington - their household
goods were shipped back to Fort Sam Houston -I am assuming by ship
again - those household goods sure had a long roundtrip voyage! There
is no record of how the family returned to San Antonio, Texas. It
appears he had the trailer shipped, maybe they just drove back? This
was a devastating time for Flag.6,377 pounds total + trailer not yet crated - weight unknown.
