Seems we have another living member of the unit. Just received this yesterday, from the newest member of our forum:
My step-father, George Oriel Matkin was in the 61st Combat Engineers Battalion.
He is now 92 and living in Mesa, Arizona.
I appreciate any bits of information that I can find on his war experiences.
Regards,
