1264th Engineer Combat Battalion
#7

My father was in the 1264th. I don't have the exact dates he was drafted and reported, but it was April & May 1944. I have a couple of pics of him, one alone (no rank or insignia on uniform) and one in khakis with 4 other men. No rank/insignia on that one, either.

 

He isn't listed in the copy of the history book I looked at, but he was in Company C. His name was Glen Wilson. He was a SP5 when he seperated in 1946. I have his "Fundamentals of Electricity for those preparing for war service" book...excellent resource.

 

I am also fortunate enough to live six blocks from another 1264th member, SP5 Rex Pierce, now 92. He's full of stories. One involved him and his driver, 'Wormy', crossing the Hodges Bridge without permission.

 

I'll post more info later on after I find the few records I have. I know I have info on completion of the bridge on April 5, 1945. Also have seen some pics Mr. Pierce took while over there.
