36th Combat Engineer info
#3

Hi all,

 

My name is Kelli ,I did not know my grandfather he died before I was born. I have a book that my grandfather wrote in . While serving in the war. I also have pictures I do not know if any of you are interested. He was part of the 36th engineer , he was born I Arkansas .When he was in WW11 he was married to my grandmother Gene. I hope this enough information to jog some of your memories. I have been doing research on my family history and I would love any information................Kelli

 

Hello Kelli,

Looking at my lists of WW II Army Enginer units, I find two:

1. the 36th Engineer Combat Group that served in WW II in the Central European Campaigm only , did German Occupation duty and then served in all eight of th Campaigns of the Korean War.

2. the 36th Engineer Combat Regiment that served in the Campaigns of:

Algeria - French Morocco

Tunisia

Sicily

Naples - Foggia

Anzio

Rome-Arno

Southern France

Ardennes - Alsace

Rhineland

and participated in assaults (amphibious) in:

North Africa

Sicily

Salerno

Anzio

Southern France.

 

Think this was your Grandfather's unit.

 

Please let me know how far you would like to go in your research. I can supply possible sources.

 

From Maui, Hawaii

Aloha,

Jim
