Ah, the 'bible' many of us refer to is:
The Corps of Engineers - The War Against Germany - Authors: Alfred M. Beck; Abe Bortz; Charles W. Lynch; Lidia Mayo; And Ralph F. Weld - Publisher: Department of the Army - The book describes in detail the role of the Army Corps Engineers in various campaigns, from North Africa, Italy, as well as Central and Western Europe, from 1941-1944. Includes photos, maps... - Recommended to me by Rod O'Barr. Received the book in August 2004. There are numerous references to the 36th, 39th and 540th Engineers and it's a tremendous help to me while trying to write a concise history of the VI Corps Engineers.
Are you planning on scanning the photo to share with us?
re: photo...
yes, but it is @18 inches long. I will probably take a picture of it. I also plan on scanning some pictures of bridges they built.
