13th Engineers (Railway)

The 13th Engineers (Railway) regiment was created on Friday, July 13th, 1917. The regiment departed from Chicago a week later in three trains of thirteen cars each. And it was to record thirteen deaths during its term of service.

About Me

EP Dudley was my grandfather. His WWI experiences were left for his family in a daily diary he kept from June 1917 to November 1918. My goal has been to put his diary into context for his great grandkids and their kids.
