285th Engineers

[mikel]

I guess I'll add some more details to this just in case someone else happens upon this while looking for information on the 285th.

 

The 284th and 285th rode over to the ETO on the Marine Raven, information on this ship can be found on the 284th's website and scattered about the internet.

 

As far as the 1142nd I asked Dale about it and his response was:

 

I wrote to Pace explaining I was in the 285th before it had the fillers just cadre. He posted my email on his page but I have never had any reply. I remember the 1142nd sign in Camp Crowder and I know that was the group we were assigned. I can not remember if we were assigned that group in the ETO. The only assignment I am sure of is that we were XII Corps.
