The 1106th is going to tricky. They were all over the place on 6Jun44. They had pieces attached to the 101st they came ashore on Utah, they came ashore on Normandy. I have a feeling though that Tec5 Parker was with RHC 1106th Engr. Combat group. He recieved a purple heart for wounds received on Normandy and they only 1106th unit I can find also happanes to be the only one listed as having come ashore at Normandy. That's the trick when researching Combat Engineers, they spend most of their time attched to other units.
