I guess my grandfather was lucky to not have a weapon on in that shot. Here is a photo of him standing by what he labeled as "Beautiful Blue Danube" and he does have a rifle on his shoulder. He did receive a marksman badge for the rifle that I remember playing with when I was younger. As I was looking through the website I came across the story of Armonde Casagrande and I remembered a photo labeled 343rd Engineer Regiment, Mainz, Germany 1945 which I also posted. As I read through I see that Col. Dunbar was in command of the 343rd and that is the name on the bridge photos I posted earlier. Maybe someone can pass these photo on to him.
