WW2 Cdn Army Repatriation

[David Dunlop]

I guess it would be best not to look at these kinds of documents late at night!

I went back to relocate it and discovered it is actually a 1,178 page tome, covering all arrivals 20 Feb 1946 and 21 Feb 1946 in the Port of New York. All Canadian Military personnel were either processed through No. 1 (not the '10' I originally thought) CDN REPATRIATION DEPOT, or NO. 4 CDN REPATRIATION DEPOT. All processing at these locations appears to have been done 08 Feb 1946. Still no location ID's for these depots.

On 20 Feb 1946, the following ships arrived at New York:

Queen Elizabeth - no departure port shown
Monarch of the Sea - Bordeaux
Mount Royal Park - Puerto la Cruz
Sea Triton - Cristobal
Silverteak - Dundee
Stevenson Taylor - Cardiff
Woodbridge Victoria - Le Havre
C. F. - T.D.L.
N.C. - 21758
N.C. - 28324
N.C. - 37468
N.C. - 45342
N.C. - 88838
N.C. - 88883
N.C. - 88886
N.C. - 88887

The numbered vessels (no idea what they would be) came from the following ports:

Paris
Lisbon
Hurn

On 21 February 1946 the following ships arrived at New York:

Bernard Carter - Bremerhaven
Cape Isabel - Bombay
Cecil N. Bean - Barry
Esso Raleigh - Aruba
George Washington - Le Havre

Included with the military personnel travelling on each ship was a crew manifest for each vessel. As previously mentioned, the military personnel were sorted by last name. Officers listed first, followed by other ranks. The additional notes I had initially seen turned out to be medical references, for those personnel repatriated for those reasons.

Gordon:

What was your Mum's full name at that time, I will take a look and see if she is listed, if you like.
