1920 Czechoslovak Legion Ship Pass USS President Grant – U.S.A.T. Transport XXXV, Signed Officer Document, Vladivostok to Trieste Repatriation, Rare WWI Aftermath Militaria

Europe / Czechoslovakia

Original and highly important Czechoslovak Legion transport pass (1920) issued for travel aboard the U.S.A.T. “President Grant”, one of the ships used to evacuate Czechoslovak Legion troops from Siberia after World War I.

The document explicitly references the XXXV (35th) transport and is signed by the commanding officer (Major), with a clear official stamp. It granted passage aboard the ship during the historic repatriation of legionnaires from Vladivostok to Trieste.

This is not a generic document, but an actual personal pass used for the journey, making it a rare survivor directly tied to the dramatic evacuation of the Czechoslovak Legion during the Russian Civil War period.

The USS President Grant is well documented as part of the Allied effort to return Czech forces from Siberia in 1920. Items directly linked to this transport are scarce and highly sought after.
