My brother Joseph McNamara is 92 year’s old and lives in Florida. He was in the 2770th and had Captain Ehret as his company commander. He said the group was formed in Portland, Oregon. My brother came from Buffalo, NY to join the unit.
My brother remembers a Mr. Mallardi in his outfit but said he doesn’t ever believe he talked to him. My brother doesn’t remember a Ralph C. Cartledge though. If anyone wants to talk to by brother Joe McNamara, they could get hold of me at Jemac12345@tampabay.rr.com. I know very little of his service although knew that Joe was in the 2770th Engineering Base Reproduction Company with captain Ehret.
He remembers traveling the 15 days by convoy to cross from Boston harbor to Le Bourget (or Le havre), France. They lost a ship during the crossing the Atlantic in the convoy.
I’m sure a historian could get a lot more information from my brother Joe if they wanted.
