Yes, that was Co. B 48th that is mentioned. WE trained with them in Italy, as a matter of fact a detachment of them was attached to my company. WE left the beach the day after the invasion. On leaving my mess Sgt. stole 1 ton of american flour from the QM Depot. WE had hot bread for several weeks. aL
I commanded Company B 48th engineers that was attached to The 8th on 15 August 1944. A platoon sized unit lived & trained with us for several weeks prior to the invasion. Alfred L. Kincer L/Col CE Retired
