Shortly after the arrival of the 301st Supply Train in France, it was decided by Division Headquarters to establish a Chauffeurs' and Mechanics' School for the 3rd Depot Division. Most of the personnel for the school were taken from the First Company C. With Captian James Moody as Commanding Officer and Lieutenant Donald Fitts as the second officer. After First Company C was transferred to Bordeaux, a new Company C was formed from the students at the school with Lt. Fitts in command.
Unfortunately the new companies (both A and C) were called after the old letters, a fact that caused many errors in the mail. At that particular time it was considered that the old companies were no longer part of the Train.
The school was located in a large empty barn near Les Grandes Villages and was equiped to handle about 300 men. Most of the students were new soldiers arriving from the United States. Infantry Drill was also part of the order of the day so that the school gradulated both good truck men as well as good soldiers. Before graduating, each man had to drive a truck for 3 hours wearing a gas mask. A hard job but necessary considering the type of work they were training to do.
