UPDATE TO THE "MYSTERY OF THE 358TH ENGINEERS" 10/29/2017
Well, finally got to the bottom of the mystery and as promised, I'm reporting the findings to close the question.
It was as many had suspected... HAYWOOD WATERS did not transfer to the 358th Engineers until November 1945. The sole purpose of that transfer was to try and speed up the process so he could get back the States.
Haywood Waters was an infantry soldier in the 99th ID, 395th IR, 1st Btn, Co. "C"... aka Known as "The Battle Babies"!!! Look it up on Google. They have an interesting beginning.
I apologize to everyone that tried to help solve this mystery but it was all we had to go on and I do appreciate everyone's help very much. Unfortunately, Haywood Waters' service records did indeed burn in the Fire of 73 but Geoff was able to locate the real Regiment Haywood was with and produced 205 pages of morning reports. Some had Haywood Waters listed and others were pertaining to the Company unit itself and what it was doing.
Geoff did a fantastic job and that's the 2nd time he has come through for me on things I couldn't unravel on my own.
If you ever need a research professional, give Geoff a shot at helping you. His website is: GoldenArrow
