Private Neil Lathrop Boynton sailed to & from France in the Great War aboard the ships Siboney and Rotterday with the 319th Ambulance Company, of the 305th Sanitary Train. Soldiers of the 305th Sanitary Train of the 80th Division sailed to France for WWI on several ships, USS Mercury, USS Siboney, or USS Huron from Newport News & Norfolk, Virginia, in May, 1918. The Sanitary Train consisted of the 317, 318, 319, and 320th Ambulance Companies, the 317, 318, 319, and 320th Field Hospitals, and the 305th Sanitary Train Headquarters. The sanitary train returned to Hoboken, New Jersey, on the USS Rotterdam from Brest, France. The soldiers boarded the ship on May 20, 1919 in Brest France and arrived in Hoboken on May 31, 1919. Once ashore they were given refreshments by welfare organizations. They proceeded to Jersey City by ferry and then by passenger coaches to Camp Dix, New Jersey, for out-processing. All their possessions were sterilized in a steam sterilizer which was very effective. Any thing leather shrunk to a much smaller size. Sanitary Train was decommissioned on Jun 9, 1919.
