Europe / Czechoslovakia

The USS President Grant was authorized to return home the Czech legions fighting in Siberia. In 1920 it was used to transport the Czech troops from Vladivostok to Trieste. This is an actual pass for that trip aboard the USS Grant. Signed by the commanding officer and with the Czech lion handstamp "5. Transp. President Grant'

The card is titled “Osvětový sbor transportu č. 35” (Educational Corps, Transport No. 35) and includes handwritten notes referencing travel from Siberia (Irkutsk) to Canada, a historically significant route used by Czechoslovak Legionnaires returning home after World War I and the Russian Civil War.

Dated 1920, the document features period handwriting, official formatting, and a faint circular stamp, confirming its authenticity. The mention of “President Grant” refers to a known transport ship used in repatriation efforts of the Czechoslovak Legion.

A rare and historically important artifact connected to the Czechoslovak Legion’s evacuation from Russia, highly collectible among militaria and WWI/post-WWI history enthusiasts.
