Spence:
More good news. You must be pretty excited about getting the copies of docs from Pam. I had a good feeling about that the moment I saw it.
I have had a chance to briefly go through the docs you sent and was very pleased. It will come in handy for future reference for myself and also for others who may visit this site. I plan on placing the files here in the near future. Please bear with me while I try to upload all this info.
I have the War Against Germany, but not the War Against Japan. I would like to one day add it to my collection, but at present I have to pull my priorities together and keep my focus on the ETO and especially VI Corps. Yes you know how expensive this can get. Thank God I've had some generous vets who have donated some books and manuals to my collection. God bless you boys!
Tonight I am sorting through over a thousand documents from my dad's unit, the 540th and placing all the information together by months and years. Quite an undertaking, but awfully interesting. Winter is a great time for me to do this, and forcing myself to get organized will motivate me to keep writing. Some days I just look at it and get a dreaded feeling in the pit of my stomach. But as with anything else, once you get started things begin to fall into place.
The other units were the 475th Engineer maintenance company and the 978th engineer maintenace company. So it will be interesting to see what she has.
Can't wait to see what this entails too. Here's a link on the forum regarding the 978th everyone.
