Hello Peg!

You mention in earlier post that your Dad was in charge of a German POW Camp. Do you have any details on where it was or its name?

Mr. Abraham,

Would you mind checking your dad's files for a William Jennings Bell (went by Jennings)? He was in the 342nd, company B. I recently found some pictures and will post them as soon as possible. Most of the pics have several men in them, but no identification noted on the back. Thank you!

My dad was in the 342nd Engineers Company C. His name was Royal Burdette Langsdon. Does anyone have any photos or information that might include him? Thanks, Phillip

Winter is when I'll next have time to go through my Dad's pictures and files. I'll be happy to look for anything on William Jennings Bell and Royal Burdette Langsdon. Not sure I'll have anything as most of my Dad's pictures are of the H&S Company but you never know. The 2 volume album on the history of the 342nd in the New York City Library is a treasure for anyone looking for history on the 342nd Engineers in WWII. I was there and spent hours looking through this one-of-a -kind collection by Col. Roe. Many many pictures!

The book in the NYC Library is in their archives room and I believe you need to contact them in advance and make an appointment to view the books. Austin Abraham
