Hello all -
@Marion/Dave Berry - please have your friend whose father served in this company contact me, if interested.
My late grandfather, Ralph C. Cartledge, served in the 2770th Engineering Base Reproduction Company as a lithographer. He was 31 when he was drafted in 1943, 65 when I was born, and I was 13 when he passed away. At that time, I did not know yet how much I would long to know more about him and his time in the service. He was a very kind and gentle man who shared very little of his wartime experiences with my mother and her sister; but THANKFULLY he was a pack rat like me, and he organized his photographs, letters, v-mail, company publications, telegrams, and "souvenirs" so neatly that I am blessed with a window into that time in his life. I have photos, publications, and lists with names (and sometimes "souvenir" signatures) of the other men he served with at various stages of the war. STILL - there is so much guessing to be done without his guidance.
I joined this forum to connect with any living members or descendants of his company. I am in the process of scanning and transcribing notes and documents that may provide insight into the company's movements - as this is impossible to find online. I'm also learning how to take advantage of such a forum to share information - this is my first post.
Please contact me if you have information about the 2770th EBRC or questions about my notes that might help you in your quest.
