Welcome aboard Roy, Thank You for your service. You`ve come to the right place for anything on the COE in WWII. If there is anything we can help you find, just ask! There is alot of info available on the 163rd & 305th CE.
163rd Combat Engineer Battalion was a part of the 1109th Engineer Combat Group, except for brief special assignments.
The Group was assigned to 1st Army from 12 Mar 1944 to 6 Aug 1944, to 3rd Army from 7 Aug 1944 to 28 Sep 1944, and to 7th Army from 29 Sep 1944 to July 1945.
