Captain M I Crown recalls starting convoy duties in 1917 while serving in Company D Washington.

He notes organizational tasks from supply to immunization, and the challenge of moving replacements as individuals rather than as a unit. He has crossed oceans five times by water and three by air and eagerly awaits a return to his family before another assignment.
