World War I Engraved Canteen

[bergie]

I was fortunate to find this beautifully engraved WWI U.S. canteen today at the house of a family member and was given permission to keep it. Note the location of Savenay, France where there was a medical facility and the June 2, 1918 date (I couldn't find a battle, unless I missed it, so perhaps the day it was engraved). Luckily, there are three initials rather than two. Not as good as a name, but way better than two initials. I'm hoping someone knows how to do deep research to find the name. Much appreciated. Person must have been a medic based on the insignia. Initials are KEC.
