The 337th was assigned to 1108th Engineer Combat Group, given 30 days training on baily bridges, & mines, then sent out to where the action was.
The 1108th was under IV Corps command.
At that point the 1108th had broken into two separate battalions. The 235th Bn remained in Italy and the 48th Bn went to southern France with my dad's unit (they trained together), for the invasion of Southern France.
