292nd Engineer Combat Battalion (New Member)

[Tony's Boy]

Kathleen,

 

I took a look through all of the unit documentation that I have and did not see a Herbert Rice listed. What a curious dilemma. Someone had previously mentioned that maybe he was attached to the 292nd for the trip back which was not that uncommon. maybe he was a late transfer to the unit as the documentation at this point is sparse from later in 1945.

 

Anyone else have any ides on this?

Gary...I had stated earlier that the 253rd was probably the 253rd combat battalion that was part of the 9th army, which the 292nd was also a part of. Also could he have re-upped at the end of the war and been put with the 292nd which was building and supervising POW camps?
