Lieut Edgar Bouligny of New Orleans arrived home aboard the transport George Washington. He served with the French and American armies since 1914, as a Foreign Legion volunteer, then in French aviation in Serbia and Albania, later transferring to the American air service.

The operation featured tight timing from shop to front line. Maj. Dan O'Brien led the transport effort across multiple legs to reach battle lines.
