294th Engineer Combat Battalion - 1944.

Greetings,

 

Just a quick note. My dad was in the company that lost all the men from Jersey City. His Guardian Angel was looking over him and he had the duty to drive an officer around that day. They had just returned and were in the mess tent when the explosion occured. He always talked about having to recover the remains of the guys who were killed. He had other stories and I wish we had recorded them all. My brother has some of the maps and books that he brought back with him from the war. By any chance do you remember my dad, Ken McKeever?

 

Cordially,

 

Ken McKeever
