145th Engineer Combat Bn

[Walt's Daughter]

Note:

 

Some may be confused by the references to the 35th Engineer Regiment. The 35th became 1122d Engineer Combat Group, and its 1st and 2nd Battalions became the 35th and 145th Engineer Combat Battalions, respectively. This occurred in 1945, when many of the engineer units were restructured.

 

Same thing happened to my dad's unit. The 540th Engineer Regiment became the 540th Engineer Combat Group and the 1st bn became the 2832nd. The 2nd Bn became the 2833rd.
