294th Engineer Combat Battalion - 1944.
#77

This is from earlier in this topic. This was posted by Joe Izzillo, who began as a 294th Engineer and later went onto a topographic engineer unit.

 

...the 294th went up to Wales and from there sailed to Normandy in the Susan B. Anthony to Utah Beach on June 7, 1944. As they approached the beach, the ship hit two mines and sank. Destroyers came alongside and were able to rescue all the men on board. They lost all of their equipment. Later, they were reequipped and went on with the war...
