Two weeks later, the company together with sixty-five enlisted men from Company "I," and forty men from Company "F," Sixth Nebraska Infantry, was transferred to the 109th Engineers and announced as Company "F," 109th Engineers.
Day after day and month after month, the boys expected orders to go "over there." After a year of training, worrying and waiting at Camp Cody, the orders came, and they started for the front, "rejoicing as a strong man lo run a race."
In January, 1919, when the regiment was separated into several detachments, Company "F" remained on duty at Mesves Hospital Centre, France, until the middle of May ; when for about two weeks, station was changed to Nevers ; then sent to LeMans area and from there to the embarkation port and home, being demobilized at Camp Dodge, Iowa, on July 2, 1919, having had ten months of service in France out of their two years of service.
