257th Engineers - WWII

[Walt's Daughter]

Received this wonderful email and accompanying PDF file. Talk about a real treasure. Thank you SO much, Michael.

 

Marion,

 

I was on the WWII Combat Engineers website and noted some inquires about the

257th Engineer Combat Battalion. My grandfather was in the 257th and sent a

letter to my grandmother dated 6/5/45. I do not believe that he wrote it

based upon the writing style but I believe someone in the 257th wrote it and

made copies, one of which my grandfather had. The letter chronicles the

experiences of the 257th Engineer Combat Battalion from November 1944 to

June 1945. I scanned the letter and turned it into a pdf file. I am willing

to send it to you for posting on the website but it is 13 MB in size so I

figured I'd better ask you before I send it. If you are interested, let me

know and I'll send it as an email attachment.
