243rd engineers

[Chaase]

My grandpa was with the 1010th treadway bridge company which as i understand is part of the 243rd combat engineer battalion. I have some limited info on his unit but was wondering if anyone has any sources they could share? Also just any info on treadway companies would be cool as well.I think they were a part of the 89th infantry.

 

Thank you

Hi Chaase,

 

I'm not sure if you're still active on this or not but my grandfather was also in the 1010th Treadway Bridge Co and I am trying to research anything I possibly can...I know my grandpa's group called themselves "Malink's marauders"...I have no idea how many people are in a company or in that company in particular but I do have several pictures from a camera my grandpa had including one of his group he was with...I would guess only about 10 guys or so are in the picture...My grandpa's name is James (Jay) Riederer ... I'm working on getting information from the national archives regarding the 1010th, I would be happy to share whatever information I come up with. Let me know what your grandpa's name is and maybe out of some chance they were actually in the same group.
