My Uncle, George Moreno lost his life, the night the Tuscania sank. He was an American Army Soldier from Camp Travis, Texas. His regiment was the 165th Depot Brigade, 50th Company, Camp Travis Detachment #2. George was a Musician, and a Bugler in the service. His home was in Pearsall, Texas. I would like to find his service number and any other information that is available.
