What a great photograph Sam, thanks so much for sharing it with us here. Going by the number of men in the scene it would seem to be a platoon photo. Having all the names and signatures of the soldiers makes it an even more special family treasure. I assume you have noticed from the thread that one of the men in the photo, Vernon Gansebom, just passed away this past September. There are quite a few names here that are not on the Company B roster that I'm working on, always nice to find new information. Thanks again Sam for sharing this with us and look forward to anything else you may want to add. Have a good one!

This is awesome Sam! Where is your grandfather located in the picture? Here is a picture posted on the Camp Butner Society's Facebook page showing the two other 292nd ECB panoramic photos on display.
The Company B panoramic would be a great addition alongside it's 292nd brothers!

Hello to all. My apologies for having been gone for way too long. Taking care of my elderly grandmother happily took up most of my time over a number of years and all of my time over the last year and a half. Alas, she passed away on Feb 13th at 103 and is now in a better place bringing smiles and good will to all she encounters there just as she did while here.
Hopefully, we can revitalize this thread and continue to document the 292nd as we had started in the past. I will be on periodically and that should grow as things concerning my grandmother are taken care of. Thanks so much for your patience concerning my absence.

Dear Gary, sorry for your loss. That was very sweet of you to look after the care of your grandmother. God bless her for living such a long life. I hope that most of it was very happy. Good to have you back. Talk with you again shortly when things settle to a simmer.
Smiles, M1

Hello everyone. Today I would like to share the 292nd ECB Company B roster that I have been working on. I have updated it to include Sam Eggleston's grandfathers name but have not yet added the other names he has provided with the group photograph, will do this in time. Some notes about the rosters I have compiled, these names are men that have belonged to the unit at one point or another, does not imply that they spent their entire military service with unit. There are cases where some members were transferred to other companies within the 292nd, in such cases their names will appear on both rosters. The rank shown is what I have documentation for, their final rank at the end time of service certainly could be different from what is listed. I tried to be as accurate as possible, the information was gathered from multiple sources and I may have made errors in the final product, for any mistakes I apologize. If you spot errors or omissions please let me know, definitely want to get it right.
Have a good one everybody!

Marion,
Thanks so much for your kind words. My grandmother was a wonderful person and I will live the rest of my life with her as a guide along with my father and grandfather. Your words concerning my grandmother were very kind and went straight to my heart.
Talk to you soon,
Gary

Good morning everybody! Today I'm posting the roster for Company A. Have collected 144 names for Company A, more than any of the four companies from the 292nd. Keep in mind though that all the rosters are still a work in progress.
Take care,
Randy
