History of the 337th Engineer Combat Battalion
#20

Hello all. I'm Dennis Jones. son of William Sam Jones, Sgt in Co B of the 337th Combat Engineers when he was discharged. Dad was severly wounded in the invasion of Salerno (his entire platoon was lost except two in a single artillary shell explosion). We buried him with his Purple Heart pinned to his suit. My brother Roger and I have just started this journey of discovery to find out what Dad went through to make him the man he was. The war effected him, as it did anyone connected to the war. How it effected him is a major factor in how he related to his family. As we search his history I will post whatever I find, including sources. Thanks for listening.
