Tracing American Military in UK?

[Purple Badger]

Evening all,

My Great Grandma moved to America in 1920 to Marry an America Edward David Cassell. Family legend suggests they met while he was in the UK with the America Forces during WW1. My great grandma grew up in Norfolk so I am hoping for a Norfolk connection.

I have managed to find Edward Cassell's Veteran Compensation card which gives his Army Military Number as 713,680. He was part of the 377th Squadron. The record states that he served overseas March to December 1918. How would I find out where "overseas" he was based?

Many Thanks,

S

377th Aero Squadron was indeed overseas from March 1918 to December 1918.

There is an online family history (not of your man) which has this segment:

He was .. transferred to the 377th Aero Squadron and sail from Halifax, Mar. 22nd, 1918 with the American Expeditionary Forces.  He landed in Glasgow, Scotland, April 1st, 1918.  He was stationed with the Royal Air Forces, in Ramsey, England, Lark Hill, Old Sarum and Lake Downs, on the Salisbury Plains.  He left Liverpool, Dec. 2nd, 1918, and landed at Hosoken, New Jersey, Dec. 12th., 1918
