United States Army C Coy. 106th Engineer Regiment
from:Brant, Michigan, USA
Harvey L. Crane was working in Detroit, Michigan when called to service in May 1918. His new wife of that year, Laura Woodman Crane, was worried for him his entire duty in Europe. He sailed from Hoboken, NJ USA on 16th of September 1918 to Liverpool, England on the HMAT SS Balmoral Castle. He was assigned to the 106th Engineers who were primarily repairers or builders of bridges and other structures necessary for military use in war-torn Germany and France. His main craft was welding all kinds of different metal. He returned to the states safely but, Laura would years later tell their two adult daughters, "Don't ever marry a military man before he goes off to war".
