292nd Engineer Combat Battalion (New Member)

[Sir Gator]

Hello;

 

I am trying to find information on the 292nd Eng Combat Battalion CO A: I have seen various items but am confused if there was more than (1) Co A during WWII? I am sorry I am new to all of this.

My Grandfather (Edwin J Grosskurth) was a member of the battalion and my mother (his daughter) only has his discharge papers, and she would like very much to have more info. I have spent quite a while searching but his name does not come up in the national registry. I see photo's on this site but am not sure if he would be in these as I don't know how many Co A's there may have been during WWII.

 

If anyone can help I would be extremely grateful.

 

I am posting the only thing I do have and hope this will be enough to be pointed in the right direction, I am trying to get some kind of time line and understanding of what my grandfather would have done or been involved in so as to present her. I don't have a military photo like I see people display, hoping that I might find a picture of him through others.

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

 

Regards,

 

Martha

Martha,

 

A hearty welcome to our growing group of those interesting in the heroes that served in the 292nd! Randy is truly a leader here and as you can see from his posts extremely helpful to any and all. Interesting that in the area where his awards are listed it also says "Go 2 HQs 292nd Eng Combat BN 45". Makes me wonder whether he spent some time with Headquarters and Service Company? Do you have any period photos of him (preferably ones where we can really get a good look at his face) that we may use to help to identify him in the Company A photo? Let me take a look at the documentation that I have to see where he is mentioned which I will then post.

 

Thanks so much for stopping on in and please don't be a stranger here. Be sure and follow this conversation and you can get an email sent to you when someone posts here.
