Hello Everyone,
Still doing research on the 386th Engineer Battalion. My father-in-law was a 1st Lt. in the unit. I have been reading the book The Corps of Engineers: The War against Germany. Very good book and has great information on what the Engineers were doing during WW2. The 386th was a general service engineer battalion. He was in the campaigns of Naples-Foggia and Rome-Arno. I beleive that it was a small platoon of 80 men. Here is a list of where his letters were mailed. Below is a guest card issued to him on 21st of April 1945. Thanks for your time.
Sincerely, Debra J
