Hello,
My dad passed away three weeks ago. He was a platoon leader and after the BotB became the commanding officer for 285th Co B combat engineers. I have a few pictures of some of the bridges they built and a nice XII corps book.
In addition to my dad's command of the 285th B Co, he had an honor co command at General Patton's funeral. After the war, he was assigned to HQ where he was assigned various tasks. Later he was given Command of the 24th Armored Engineers 4th Armored Division. As with most of our parents, he didn't talk much about the war, but ever so often would talk about "this or that" He took more pride in commanding the 285th than he did his other commands. Only recently did I learn that he had an honor co command at Gen Patton's funeral or that he had a battalion command after the war.
If anyone is interested I will try to scan a few pictures.
Joe
