149th Combat Engineers

[Walt's Daughter]

Dear Nan:

 

Sorry I haven't gotten back with you. I am in the midst of reorganizing everything, including my Outlook folders for VI Corps and your letter slipped through the cracks. Lately I have been getting anywhere from 75 to over 100 emails a week from vets, families and friends and it keeps me hopping.

 

Here are two contact for the 149th CE WWII:

You may also want to contact the Army Corps of Engineers. They have folders on each Combat Engineer Battalion in WWII. They provided me with a ton of material when I began my search for the 540th CE.

Well, that should get you off to a good start. Let me know how you progress and if I can be of any further help. I am going to add this info to my forum under LOST AND FOUND.

Thanks for contacting me and the best of luck in your continued endeavors.
