Hello All,
New to the site and wanted to see if I could find any information in regards to the 49th Combat Engineers, which my father Hubert C Evans was a member of during WWII. I know very little other than a few stories and some pictures as my dad (as many others have found) preferred not to rehash the things they saw and did during the war. I wish to know what my dad really went through. if anyone knew him or had any stories or facts. Here is a brief bio of my Father.
