Hello - 608th Engineer Light Equipment Co

[brian m]

Clementine,

 

I do not have too much to offer, but in reading through the After Action Reports for the 157th Engineer C Battalion, the 608th Le Co. is mentioned on February 27th, 1945. At this point the 157th is somewhere in the area of Domfessel, France and they are working on and operating a rock crusher. The report says that the "shovel that was attached (to the 157th) from the 608th Le Co and used at coord. Q557285 for loading rock had to be returned to bivouac for repair and maintenance work."

 

It does not sound like the 157th and 608th were working together (just sharing equipment), but the 608th must have been close by.
