My father was in the 975th Engineer Maintenance Co. and in the Battle of The Bulge. I don't know what larger unit they were attached to , but the history of the 1111th looks like a unit the 975th could have been with them. I am doing research to see if I can identify where he was in Europe.

As you've probably already noticed, there's not a lot of online info on this unit, therefore I suggest that you contact the following:

NARA in Maryland - they have unit records and you can even hire a research assistant (as I did)

Contact the Engineer Office of History in Alexandria VA - they were instrumental in my research - you can call too - 703-428-6563
