Betsy, I merged your post into this one, for your comments directly relate to this topic.
Welcome to the forum.
I just came across this photo of William Leunig from the 285th and I thought that I'd post it here for your records.
And here is Nicholas Zillas
For some reason, William looks familiar to me.
One of his buddies from the 285th told me that William was a NYC Firefighter and also quite involved with the 285th's reunions so maybe one of those things is where you may know him from?
I may have seen his picture before. Totally possible.
If you do some "googling" on the 285th his photo does show up so that might be where you've seen it!
Just an FYI that I have brought http://285thcombatengineers.com on line! I'm waiting for some more information from some of the veterans of the unit but it does have some documents and photos.
PS - It may take a day or so for DNS to get to everyone!
YEAH! Great thing to celebrate. Will add the link to the main site today. Congrats on all your hard work.
