WWI Company 'K' Fort Douglas Utah 20th Infantry Corporal 1913 Certificate B12

Description

1913 Company 'K' Fort Douglas Utah 20th Infantry Corporal Certificate
Great find. Folded. No rips or tears.
One of the crews kept at Fort Douglas was from the SMS CORMORAN
which had left the German colony of
TSINGTAO, CHINA
at the beginning of the war and stopped at Guam
in December 1914 to refuel and take on provisions. Denied the coal needed for their boilers, the German captain reluctantly submitted to detention. When the United States entered the war on the Allied side in 1917, the crew were made prisoners of war and were sent to Fort Douglas.
A great piece of history.
Thank you for looking.
