Looks like all the bodies (the ones they found) were exhumed and returned to the US, all but for one:

Gonna have to pick up a nice scotch from the Kilchoman area, where most bodies washed up and were buried, for a proper salute, of course!:

More about the 20th Engineers, US Army

http://20thengineerbattalion.org/unit-history/

https://foresthistory.org/digital-collections/world-war-10th-20th-forestry-engineers/ has more about the lost ships. Many photos of the unit and times.

My own grand-father, Emil, a first-generation American, survived the vicious anti-German propaganda put out by the Wilson administration to join the US Army.

Rebuffed by the Infantry - he was told they "already had too many GD Krauts already", he walked done the street and joined the Forestry Engineers (the 20th)

He survive the Spanish Flu, being shot at by some of his own first cousins and everything that goes with a war zone.

He was a "Waggoneer" that is - a truck driver.

I'm here to day thanks to him. And the many others that did not make it home.
