1286th Combat Engineers

[Walt's Daughter]

I am posting this for David.

 

Dear Mrs. Chard:

 

My father was in the 1286th. Engr. C. BN., and I have been trying to find

any information that I can for my Dad. He has a hard time trying to

remember things now as he is 87. I can not seem to find anything. Would you

have any information on the 1286th? They were formed May 12, 1944 at Camp

Rucker, Alabama and inactivated ion 5 Nov. 1945 at Camp Cambell, Kentucky.

Any information or suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you,

David Dings
