Info on 253rd Engr Combat BN
#1

253rd Engr Combat BN went from Camp Crowder to Camp Campbell, Ky for training in summer of 1944, debarked Boston in fall 1944 to Liverpool UK via SS West Point, they were part of Seventh Army. My father's discharge indicates that they participated in Central Europe campaign, indicates also XI Corps (but I wonder of that was typo and should have been VI Corps?). After V-E day they were barracked at Heidenheim, GE until debarking Le Havre for NYC in spring 1946 via SS Sea Robin.

 

I have been unable to find out any information on this unit, who they were attached to, or anything else. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
