1254th Engineers

[Walt's Daughter]

Hello Marion,

 

Thanks for the bridge information. I sure won't be looking for "route 40" all over Europe!

I've attached two images, the catfish image is a map of the area of operation for the 1254th ECB. The second is the bridge in question. The men on the bridge are from H company, 2nd Battalion, 313th Regiment, 79th Infantry Division. Time and place are unknown other than sometime between 1944 and 1945.

Thanks for all your help.

Hello Ken:

 

Nice to chat with you.

 

 

First off, "40" refers to the load bearing of a bridge. Most common types which you'll run by are "40" and "70". Please see attachment for further clarification.

 

 

I will start a topic on the forum, and you can join in. I will post whatever I find on it, so you and everyone can benefit from the research.

 

 

Warmly,

Marion
