A short description of their action at Omaha Beach, 06.06.1944:
At Exit D-3, the Les Moulins draw between Dog Red and Easy Green, the 112th Engineer Combat Battalion commander was killed early on D-day, and the men were pinned down by enemy fire behind a seawall. Even with the assistance of a platoon of the 147th, which came in with most of its equipment during the day, the 112th Battalion was not able to open Exit D-3 until 2000.
Apparently, they were in support of the 116th Regiment/29th Infantry Division on D-Day.
From 02.09(September).1944, they were attached to the 4th Infantry Division.
So they probably were located in Luxembourg during the Battle of the Bulge.
