Wilbur Dickens 540th Combat Engineer
#1

I am signed up for a Google Search Alert. Began using this feature several months ago. I have it set to notify me anytime that is finds an entry for someone or something related to the 540th Combat Engineers.

 

I have received several reports already and some of them I've already known about and some have been things that I was not aware of.

 

This morning I got one and almost fell off my chair. Why? Well this one is "hot-off-the-presses" and concerns a gentleman who is still amongst us. Here's the article and you can bet your sweet "your-know-what", that I will be on the phone later today contacting the editor. I MUST get in touch with this fellow.

Also more good news... I've heard from two more family members within the last 24 hours. One grandson and one daugther of my members of my dad's unit. What a fantastic way to begin my week. :pdt34:

 

This is a photo of Dickens, the man featured in the article.
