116th engineer - ColinPh1963 - 10-07-2020 Hello all First i would like to apologize for my poor english, and i hope you will understand what i want to say   I've been able to purchase an helmet shell recently, trough another french collector, but with very nice markings inside : Major William john Dorner, O-342380   It seems he was with the 116th engineer in 1941, maybe 133th a bit later ? i still looking for more informations about that. i've read here : https://www.idahoheroes.org/116th-engineer-battalion.html that the 116th engineer was on Pacific Theater,and that 2 companys have been commited in E.T.O, then the presence of the E.T.O bar on the helmet the makes me wonder if he hasnt been also in Europe.
