  Farewell Lawrence T Page - 148th Engineer
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 07-22-2015, 07:44 AM - Forum: Announcements, Get Well Wishes & Farewells - Replies (1)


My condolences to Dean Page on the loss of his father, Lawrence Page, who was a medic with the 148th Engineers, WWII. Dean signed my guestbook when my website was in its infancy and shared his father's history and photos with me.


He had just turned 91 on July 19. Rest in peace, sir.

Dear Mrs. Chard,

Have you any knowledge of a 1st Engineer Special Brigade Veterans Association? I need to contact someone with FACTS as per the history of the 1st Engineer Special Brigade.
Thank you for your time.

  Hello All. Grandson of 292nd Combat Engineer here, Introducing myself.
Posted by: Joel - 07-12-2015, 07:44 PM - Forum: Introduce Yourself! - Replies (18)


Hello everyone,

 

I joined this forum more than a year ago when I began researching my grandfather's time in the army. He gave me a copy of his map which was given to him after the war that detailed all the places the 292nd went throughout Europe. There are pictures of ones like it here on this forum. His name is Paul Corzine and he is originally from Karnak Illinois. His brothers Ray and Jim also served at the same time in other sections of the army and he got to meet see each of them one time while they were all in Europe at the same time.

 

After a year of doing interviews with my grandfather and scanning in some photos, I finally thought it was time to share my photos on here. I'm still working on editing the interviews I've shot with him, but here are pictures which he shot while there. https://www.flickr.com/gp/129969616@N08/7nZA2a On the back of many of the photos he wrote names and such about what was in the picture. I have taken those words verbatim and titled the photos on Flickr the same way. Any photos which are titled "Corzinexxxx" is simply a picture which was not labeled in any way.

 

Please look through them and let me know if you recognize anyone or have any questions. My grandfather remembers some things very well about them, and some things not so much. I'm currently making a list of all the individuals notated in the photos, and I'll add that to this post later when it's complete so it's searchable by search engines, should anyone look for folks later.

 

One final note, there are several photos in this album which contain pictures of dead bodies. Most are from the Dachau concentration camp. I have marked those photos as "moderate" on Flickr's safety scale, so if you wish not to view them, please filter accordingly.

 

Thanks, Glad to meet everyone,

 

SaM Harrison
