I've been helping Jack Cherry, by sending him anything I had related to the 36th/540th etc., in regards to training in Cape Cod, and he recently shared this newsletter with me. Fascinating!

Hello,

Hello all,

My grandfather served with the 401 Combat Engineer Battalion during World War 2. He was drafted and reported to Ft Devens in Mass. As a lot of you know, a fire took place in the 1970's in St Louis Missouri which destroyed many service records. I'm trying to piecing together a bit of history for my 2 sons about there Great Grandfathers experiences from WW2. I hoping to find anyone that might know  or know of someone who could have served with him. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jason C.
