Shipped to Overseas Destinations by Principal Army Ports: Dec. 1941 to Dec. 1945
Includes cargo shipped to Army commanders overseas on vessels operated by or allocated to the Army, on vessels operated by or allocated to the Navy, and on commercial vessels for the military forces or for civilian relief; also lend-lease supplies shipped on vessels operated by or allocated so the Army.
