My father, Edward F. King, of the Bronx, New York, was in the 1017th Engineer Treadway Bridge Co (out of Fort Dix on Feb. 13, 1946), and I have some photos of him with some other men during their time of service. I am new to this site and would like to share them. I also would like to find out if Jeannie Madison Smith who posted on August 30, 2010, is still on this site because she posted that she was looking to find my dad and mom of the Bronx, New York. I’m having a little bit of a hard time finding my way through the site and would appreciate any ideas on how find photos that might have my dad in them. I’m not sure who the man on the left is (below), but my father is on the right and alone in the second photo. I am looking for pictures of them at the Battle of the Bulge, too
When I hired a researcher years ago to acquire the unit records of the 540th, I also wound up with some duplication. I've put these aside and am offering them to anyone who would like to have them. There are not dupes of every page of course, but when my researcher copied them in Maryland, we somehow wound up with extra copies of many of the pages. The only thing I ask is that you pay for postage.
If you are interested, please post here and I will be happy to share with you.
Attached are some of the photos my late father, O.W. "Bud" Pendergast took. I don't know any of the names or locations, but they give a sense of what life was like in the company. After the war ended he transferred to a harbor craft company, so some of these pictures might be from then.
