Need information on Grandfather, Earl Thomas Robertson, in WWI

Beverly Ballog Dec 19, 2018 5:28 PM

My Grandfather, Earl Thomas Robertson, served in 3 Cook Co ASC in WWI. I have not been able to find any information about where he was in France. His transport ship was KD Naderlanden which notes 76th Provisional Company September Auto Replacement. His enlistment papers indicate he was a meat cutter. Can you find any information on the 76 Provisional Company? Can you help me find any information on 3 Cook Co. ASC?

Dear Ms. Ballog,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the series titled Records of Cook Companies, 1918 - 1919 in the Records of the American Expeditionary Forces (World War I) (Record Group 120) and located approximately 1,500 pages of 3rd Cook Company correspondence and general orders for 1918-1919. For access and copies of these records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.
We were not able to locate specific records of a unit designated as 76th Provisional Company September Auto Replacement.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
