Hi everyone:
I am posting this for a new friend. I've already sent him the two above contacts (forum members). I will post the photos he sent in just a bit. Still have to download them...

Greetings,
very nice web site.
I noticed several people on your forums wanting information on the 1260th Engineer Combat Battalion.
My Father was in A Company, 1260th ECB during WWll
I have a magazine/booklet (30 pages or so, 11" x14") that contains a detailed history of the 1260th
from when they formed Feb. 10, 1944 at Camp Pickett, Virginia and stops at "on 14 June, 1945 began the four day journey to Assembly Area Command at Rheims. And here our story ends as we sweat out our long journey home."
And then it stops. There is no trip home so I am thinking maybe it was printed in Germany, before they knew when they were coming home.
This booklet also has a 2 page map of their path through France and Germany ending at Dungelbeck,
There is also lists of all the names of the guys, company by company with group photos.
I would be glad to share this with anybody looking for information on the 1260th.
Feel free to give out my email address if anybody would like some info.
I have enclosed a couple quick photos to show you the booklet
have a great day and once again, nice site
Regards,
