Regardless of today's outcome, would still like to see all or parts of your collection. It would be wonderful to share with everyone on the web. I know I wouldn't be the only one to share this interest.

Hello, to all those who maybe looking for information on the 351st GSR. I have just about everything you may ever want to know. I have the entire collection of those service members of this unit. My Grandpa was with this unit and all of the men made a pact to meet every year after the war for a reunion held over Labor day weekend in Mansfield Ohio. I went to these reunions with them and knew most all of the men personally. They were a wonderful group that I respect very much. If you had a family member with this unit, I probably have something you might like. I have boxes of photos, videos, histories, etc. As a member passed away the family donated it to the original veteran who started the reunion so that a members could still look at them. All of this came to me after the last veteran passed away. Their are a few members of the 351st still around though and I have been in contact with some.
Hello Joel,
My grandfather might have known your grandfather. I seem to remember him talking about a guy up there that he kept in contact with. My grandfather had a number of photos from his service in the 351st engineers. I'll pm you the google photos link for the album I have scanned. I am very interested in the photos that you have.

Just started going through these. WONDERFUL!
Would it be possible for you to put these on disk for me. Would like to upload them to our Engineer Photo Gallery.
Let me know.
There are some really cool photos here, including the one of Glenn Miller's band on the ship.

I decided to merge two like topics today, so now everything is all in one spot. You know me, always housecleaning.
So Joel and Van, this will mostly affect your latest posts, since they were in two different spots.

I know there are repeats, I had different sized reprints of a few of them and I just scanned them all in, just in case there might be a quality difference.
