Helping Jayne...I wrote back to her and told her what routes to explore and that I would also post this on our forum.
Hello,
I have looked at the amazing site you've created in honor of your dad while looking for info on my own. I was especially interested in locating information on men who served with the U.S. Army, 1612th Engineer Forestry Company during WWII. My dad was a Combat Engineer who took part of the South West Pacific Theater - Allied Operations Campaign but I cannot find any detail on the Internet. He enlisted in September 1943 from western New York, was inducted at Camp Upton in NY > received basic training at Camp Monroe in Louisina > was sent to Camp Stoneman in California > and then was shipped to the Island of New Guinea > Luzon, Phillippines > Island of Morati.
I would be happy to locate any books or online information / memories from the men that were in the 1612th.
Thank you,
Jayne in Buffalo, NY
