Great web page!! But have alot of questions, but will make it simple.
My father in law, now deceased. Was in the Army Engineers. Hard unit to find, because according to the address\'s that I have, his unit was separate. I don\'t have any paper work as of yet, such as his DD-214, or discharge papers. Hoping you can help me find more info on:
1. \"HQ\" \"CO. C\" 386th Eng. Bn.(Sep) 1943 -1945.
2. \"HQ\" \"Co. C\" 386th Eng. BN(Sep) 5th Army Base Section Nov. 1943.
3. \"HQ\" 3rd BN 98th Gen. Service Reg. the latter part of 1945. Both APO\'s 782-(Algeria, Italy,Morocco. )
He was stationed in Ft. Barkley TX, and became an officer at Fort Belvoir (1942) then was most likely in Fort Kilmer where the 386th Engineer(Formed @ Fort Knox, KY.) was staged.
Tough unit to find information on. I appreciate your time on these units. I am researching and putting together the history along with the WW Two letters that I have for the family.
Sincerely, Debra Johnson
