After looking at information, I really don't know what company my grandfather was a part of I don't really see it listed in any of his information that I have. As for the photo you have Gary. I have that same photo....Could it not be by company but by Combat Group, since there was the 1149th and 1141st that made up the 292nd. One of my other family members has the photo and it is not damaged attempting to get it scanned so I can provide it.
Not sure if any of you have ever seen this but I am attaching it so you can review.
Thanks, Kenneth, for the offering up this tidbit! I look forward to seeing a scan of the photo that you have. If it is indeed the same one as I posted (hopefully, without the damage) then the mystery clearly is highlighted... what group is this a picture of? Incidentally, is your grandfather in the photo you spoke of? That would mean both of our grandfathers were in this picture! Cool, but we still need to try to figure out what group it is a picture of.
I want to reiterate how happy we are that you have joined our "merry band"!
