Oh my goodness! Thank you for this information!! I started reading derrick of dauntless but I think im going to print it out. Its interesting my grandad went thru England! I kinda had a feeling about that. I've kinda had a feeling about alot of things that have turned out to be true.. Kinda weird!! So.. Technical sergeant?? They worked the radios, no?

Radios are one possibility. Engineers had many skills. They are one fascinating group of soldiers, aren't they?

 

Make sure you check out my new post I started today (you inspired me). It's about soldiers pay during WWII. We've already had responses from several veteran's themselves.
