Now Marion, check this out. I went to the ABMC site and did a search by UNIT. I tried entering 540th Engineer REgiment and nothing. Then I simply entered "540" and here are my hits.
Remember---these are soldiers still buried on foriegn soil. And I counted 5 different cemeteries.

(I didn't copy the last columns. This is Rank, S/N, Home State, and Date of Death.)
Go to this link to search by Unit: http://www.abmc.gov/listunit.php
I'll let you do the same for the 36th Engineers.
Wow. That unit paid a hugh sacrifice.
