1260 Combat Engineer Battalion - Danny - 04-04-2008 I am doing a bit of research for a friend who's father was in 1260 Combat Engineer Battalion which was attached to Seventh Army. They moved from Seventh Army to Ninth Army in March 1945 and at wars end was at Dungelbeck, Germany.
I have searched Google, Yahoo etc..... and have been unable to find anything on this battalion. My friend has this information from about a 15 page battalion newpaper that was put out at the time.
If anyone has any information or where I can find information on the 1260th please to let me know and
Thanks In Advance

1260 Combat Engineer Battalion - Walt's Daughter - 12-09-2011 Hi everyone:
I am posting this for a new friend. I've already sent him the two above contacts (forum members). I will post the photos he sent in just a bit. Still have to download them...
1260 Combat Engineer Battalion - Walt's Daughter - 12-09-2011 Here are the images 1260 Combat Engineer Battalion - CaptO - 12-09-2011 Were they associated with 28th ID at one time? I just ask because of the keystone emblem on the picture. The men of the "Bloody Bucket" were in northern France and so they would not have been obviously collocated as it looks like the 1260th landed in S. France. 1260 Combat Engineer Battalion - kringle - 01-28-2012 . Can you tell me were you got the book , of the 1260th combat enganiers .

Best regards Christopher lee 1260 Combat Engineer Battalion - Walt's Daughter - 01-29-2012 Most of the battalion/regimental books were printed in Europe right after the war (this one was probably too), and were given to the men at that time. However, books like these may be still available through "hard-to-find" bookstores, etc. They are rare!
I will do a search this morning to see what I come up with. 1260 Combat Engineer Battalion - atrometer - 06-18-2014 I am looking for any and all information on the 1260th, and on my Uncle George Duncan McPhee (Tec 5, 1914-1963, Buffalo, NY). Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. I visited him a number of times in the Buffalo VA hospital with my Mother after the war's end. His wife and both of his children, and my Mother (his "Sis): have past and I don't want him forgotten! A copy of the magazine/book mentioned about the 1260th would be appreciated beyond words. |
