292nd Engineer Combat Battalion (New Member)

Here's another article from Ft Benning written in 1947 about the Roer (Ruhr) River crossing and the Engineer units that made the crossing possible during the first day or two. Although it doesn't mention the 292nd, these engineer units were just a few miles from where the 292nd built the Bailey Bridge at the destroyed Autobahn crossing and gives some information on what the engineers encountered trying to do "their thing" under fire.
