Well,
I think this is the first time I will contribute something about engineers here.
I found some pictures which I want to share with you and I hope I can share more.

Domfront, France August 17th, 1944 U.S. Army Engineers clear streets after terrific shelling.


"Belgium 8/1/45--Engineers of the 30th Infantry Division remove booby trap from snow covered, abandoned German tank, which was knocked out beyond Geromont, Belgium. Germans painted white stars on tank to make it resemble American armor. Left to right: Cpl. Peter A. Piar, Philadelphia, PA; Lt. John D. Perkins, Alliance, Ohio; and Pfc. Calvin J. Dupre, Houma, LA"


Engineers filling bomb crater at Bettenhoven, Germany. Feb. 45.


I hope you can read this:
Flow chart of the make-up of the 105th Engineer Battalion.


March 22nd...Combat Engineers clear bomb damage from road in Alpon, Germany, to permit passage of supply convoys to the Rhine River front. Alpon is located a few miles west of the Rhine River crossing site of the 30th. Also found on page 84 of 117th history book.


Link to a PDF file about the 105th from their September and October 1944 operations:

This is it for now. I hope to add more soon.

Happy Birthday to Brian M, grandson of Sgt. Frank Altman who served with the 157th Engineer Battalion, Company C.

Here are some reenacting pictures of me and a friens near the MOSELLE river.

We are at NOIRGUEUX where the 141st Infantry Regiment of the 36th "Texas" Division crossed the Moselle.
