I just wanted to say how much I appreciate these posts about the 292nd Combat Engineer Battalion. From the beginning this is very interesting and enjoyable for me. The photographs of Arthur Clark and the soldier whose name is not known are amazing. The light in the photographs is different but that could just be due to how the prints aged, but the shadows, especially the chimney on the roof, makes me think that these men could have taken each others photograph. These got my attention because I have a couple of photographs of men from the 160 ECB posed with a Thompson, quite the machine in those days. Thanks.
