Looking for members of the 297th Combat Engineers in WWII - kevin.meehan - 10-16-2012
Hello everyone. My name is Kevin Meehan and my grandfather, CPL Howard Meehan, landed at Omaha and fought in St Lo during the war. I'm looking for contact with anyone who knew him so I can gather information about his service before a family trip to Normandy and St Lo this spring. Thank you.

Kevin,
A good starting point is to refer to what we call our "bible". THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS THE WAR AGAINST GERMANY. http://archive.org/details/corpsofengineers00beck
Start at page 376 and refer to index for other mentions.
Colin.

Good morning. Sorry, took a few days off from the forum to get some things done. Seems I am always falling behind as of late. 
There are several topics regarding the 297th on the forum. Best advice is to simply type "297th" into the search box at the top of the screen, while on the home page of the forum. This will show you all the related posts.
A warm welcome!
