The following is a series of letters that I received this week. I am planning on creating a page for him in the near future. Until then you can read about my new friend right here. 
-----------------
I am writing after reading on line about the "148th" of VI corp. I was an original member of the 148th. Eng. Com bat Bn., activated in Camp Shelby Miss., in 1942, being in the original cadre, as Dental Officer, which then received the roster of @ 800 men and officers, trained there until we went overseas in June 1943 to England, trained there until D-day when we went in on D+3, and were actually in 7th. Corp, 1st Army, through the entire campaign in France, (etc.) to the end of the war in ETO, going from St. Mere E glise (on Utah beach) to Eisenach ,Germany when Germany surrendered, and we were in the 1110th. Eng. Combat Group with three other battalions, and were the actual group that built the Hodges Bridge, the first ,Class 70 Bailey Bridge over the Rhine, just downstream from the Remagen Bridge before it collapsed. (I can provide details of the construction problems we overcame).
We then went on through Liege, the Bulge, and the rest of the route until the end of the fighting, when we were sent back to France to build the "cigarette" camps for redeployment to the U.S., and the low pointers in the outfit went to Marseille for redployment to the Pacific, and were at sea when the Bomb was dropped on Japan, and the war ended.
Those men were discharged before we ,in Camp Lucky Strike were shipped home in Nov of 1945.
The VI corp outfit must be a new designation from the 148th. I was in. I have many more details for your info if you are interested in this.
