Hello all,
My friend Jim served in this Company right after he got wounded in France.
He went ashore 3rd wave at Omaha Beach with another Engineer outfit.
On December 15, 1944 he got transferred to the 26th Division "Yankee Division".
The only thing I found till now is a photo of a Jeep with the markings of the 981st in Belgium in January 1945.
I therefore turn to you here and hope someone can help me out.
I want to know the composition of this unit, the commander(s) and where they were from let's say July 1944 till December 1944.
I'm piecing together the service of my friend which is quite interesting.
At the end of the war, he had not enough points and was transferred to the 83rd Division and finally to the 42nd Division.
He got shipped home in April 1946 (!).
Long time for a D-Day Veteran, no?
Erwin
