187th Engineer Combat Battalion

[Cjsnell]

Hi Marion,

I am a new member to your site and many thanks for your hard work you have put in to build and maintain this site. My dad, Charles A. Snell (deceased) was a member of the 187th. He was an unofficial photographer for the unit and took thousands of pictures. Unfortunately nearly all photos that he brought home were destroyed in our basement years ago. I have a few artifacts and slides from Cherbourg immediately after the reoccupation of allied forrces. I also have an original copy of the "story of the 187, An Engineer Memoir." I am looking for surviving soldiers from his unit and more detailed movements of the batalion as it moved across europe.

 

Thanks again,
