337th Combat Engineer Battalion

Nicely spoken Janis. Truly nothing romantic about war and desolation, but it was the WAY it was carried out, which made it all different. And it's why we still talk about it and honor those WWII veterans, with a special reverence. I'll leave it at that. Sometimes less words are more, and you already spoke the right ones.

Very well spoken, Janis. Thank You.

 

Seems we have something in common, my uncle, Junior Ely was with the 1st Div. Field Artillery in 1940 and i know he was in North Africa.. I dont know yet which unit he was with or was with the 1st at Normandy, but i`ve asked some cousins if they have any info.

 

Another uncle Frank Duzal was in a Coast Artillery Reg. that was disbanded in North Africa

and i have no idea where he went from there, but he was in Italy till after the end of the war. the only records show his last outfit was the 6677th Disipilinary Training Co.
