120th Engineers

[Walt's Daughter]

Received a letter this week asking for info on the 120th Engineer. Piece of cake. This is what I sent to them:

 

Hello:

 

First and foremost, check out the RESEARCH section of our forum/message board. It gives guidelines to all those performing research. The 120th Engineers were part of the 45th Infantry Division, the famous Thunderbirds.

 

 

There are a few mentions of the 120th on our forum within posts:

That should get you started. Let me know if you have any other questions. You can write to any of the contacts on the 45th Inf Div's sites for more info on the 120th.
