My father, Ed Schulhafer, age 90, was a member of the 294th Engineer Combat Battalion Company C. He was with another group of men that had laid mines on a plot of ground right next to the one where the men were killed.
He was responsible for sketching the location of the mines so that they could later be located. He was busy with his sketch as his fellow soldiers were telling him to hurry up. Had he listened, their truck would have been right behind the
one that was blown up.
