I have a log of the SS Elihu Root for the time period of March 20, 1944 to March 20, 1945. During this year the Elihu Root was involved in the Invasion of Europe from Englnd from June 7, 1944 (D-day+1) to Normandy until February 27, 1945 (arrive back to Souhthampton from LeHarve.

This is from my cousin's diary that he kept while in the Merchant Marine. His name is Charles C.Newfield.

1. Is there interest in me inputting the detail of this ship's log from his diary? If so, where should I input it? Here?

2. Anyone else who served on the Elihi Root? At the same time as my cousin? Do you remember him from this ship or another ship?

3. Who was the Elihiu Root named for? The member of FDR's cabinet? Any member of that family interested in this information?
