This is a great site. As a veteran of Vietnam I appreciate the dedication, work and effort that you have put into this tribute to the military. My father, Andrew (Hank) Scolastico was a combat engineer during WWII and served with the 187th Engineer Combat Battalion. He was with his unit from Camp White to Texas to West Virginia; shipped out on the SATURNIA and arrived in Southhampton on November 2, 1944. I know they then moved to the Maginot line and were attached to 3rd army for a while but after that....I'm lost. I would appreciate hearing from anyone that has information about the 187th or who knew my father (Hank). Thank You!

I was searching for information about the 313th Engineer Combat Battallion. My grandpa Ernest Orosco Sr. (Tech 5) was in the 313th, "C" Company during WWII. I wish I had not been so lazy and recorded some of those stories of his time in the Army. It is a great regret of mine, and more so now that he has passed away and information about the 313th is so hard to find. It is amazing what all the men who served our country during WWII had to endure, and it is my privilege to be the third generation in my family to serve in the armed forces. Kudos to you for this wonderful website!

I was searching the 85th's web site today and read the "Luneville" essay. I had always known my Father was awarded the Soldier's Medal with three others but never where. It turns out it was Luneville and there is a photo of an Honor Guard on that page. When I got home, I went through a Scrapbook my Dad passed on to me. I was surprised to see the same photo in the scrapbook. While I have no idea whether there were dozens of those photos made or two, it was rather a cool surprise to find it on-line and at home.

I'd like to register soon for the site and upload some of the Scrapbook's contents. I can't tell whether the 85th's site will let me upload anything.

My father was a member of the 85th Engineer Heavy Ponton Battalion/Det. H&S Co. 8/44. He shared very little of his experiences in WWII with us. He was very proud about the unit motto: "No River to Swift". There was a story about the pair of glasses he sent to my Mom when he was in N. Africa and how he got caught in a sandstorm; the optometrist told my Mom they looked like he got caught in a mine explosion. In Germany, he and some others commandeered a small boat and went after an officer who fell in the river. That's about it as far as stories go. There were two other fellows he stayed close to but they were friends from Camp Maxie and/or the base in Paris, TX he was stationed at before shipping out overseas. I sort of want to learn a little more about his experiences and perhaps gain some insight into the man. He had some bad luck when he got home not to mention some issues with his brothers and sisters about their mother. Traveling down I-95, there's an exit with the Army Engineers' Museum and one day I'll get there to research the unit's history during WWII.
Thank you for the opportunity to POST this!

Wonderful site. Thanks for setting it up and running it.

I am the son of the late Col. Robert D Stephens from Enid, OK who was a combat engineer in the 540th for the entire duration of WWII -- participating in the landings (I believe) in Ft Lautely, Morroco, Sicily, Anzio, Southern France, the Rhine Crossing and occupation. My father had many incredible stories about his experiences. A few of my favorite stories are:

1. A wonderful letter he wrote to his parents (published in the local paper) telling them about his experiences when he was suddenly detailed to be part of the security detail for FDR during the Casablanca and Teheran conferences. He said he learned to eat really fast because he was usually the last served at elaborate meals where the big guys were meeting/eating. He wrapped up the letter with something to the effect, that he wished his pals could have been there for they would know we are led by good men and fighting for a good cause (will try to post the letter on the website). He also told me he had a run in with one of FDR's sons (a General?) who wanted to get into FDR's car while he waited for the president (it was a bitterly cold day). My dad told him he would not be allowed to enter the car for it was designated for someone else. FDR's son blew his stack and yelled my dad asking if he did not recognize him. My dad said yes, but would not allow anyone to enter the car until the designated person showed up.

2. He also claims he and 11 other engineers were the first US soldiers, trained by the Brits in North Africa, to be mine/demolition experts (his CV said he was the senior Mine Warfare Engineer in the Mediterrean Theatre) and these in turn trained hundreds of others. As a kid my dad would often use cocktail napkins to draw schematics of German mines and how he and his pals would develop a countermeasure and then the German would introduce additional changes and a never-ending war. Does anybody know if the 540th indeed was one of the first trained in mine warfare?

3. My dad told me that during the crossing of the Rhine he was put in charge of testing the "Ducks" -- which he said no one knew exactly how to operate. He put one of his men into the Duck and he drove it into the river and it immediately sunk because they failed to put in the "plug." I have pictures of this incident which are fairly funny with the last shot being a soldier swimming out of the sinking Duck.

My dad kept load of records and materials, including more than 100 letters from this period of time. I wlll try to share some of these with this website.

I have been trying to find some record / information of what he did in the war. Before he passed away he was open to talk about it. Unfortunately I did not get very much from 2 visits. I am into military history and I would like to find out more if at all possible. My mother said that they did not keep any of his letters he mailed to them. Another strike :) Sincerly, Steven R.

Dear Marion, I had just left a comment about your wonderful gallery of photos -- actually this whole website. There is so much to search, just on your website.

You had listed the route of the 39th Engineers from Gela, that I recognized. You are the first to include the breakoff of Company D to San Stefano. I know I need to get to NARA, but for starters, I have ordered 15 pages that the College Park staff found on the 39th Engineers Unit. I had requested company's dailys and/or unit reports. I have felt all along that searching for company D is like a needle in a hay stack, but now I know it might just be close at hand. Is there more about company D?

Thank you so much for pulling together all this evidence. I am not sure why I hadn't located you before now, but that is okay, I have now! Can't wait to see your documentary film.

Sincerely,
Susan Bohdan

HUGE APOLOGIES to everyone who tried to post messages in my GUESTBOOK! I was not receiving notification about guestbook entries because DUMMY me forgot to change my email address settings for my Bravenet services. How embarrassing! I wondered why there hadn't been any new entries in a year! Doh! So today I signed in and was informed by Bravenet, they didn't have a current email addy for me and had been trying to contact me regarding the 50 plus new entries, which needed my approval for posting.

This morning I spent time going through those entries, and approving them for the web. I profusely apologize to every single one of you, who were probably wondering, where the heck your entry was!!

For those who were requesting responses, I promise to get back with you, but it will take some time. Your posts ARE important to me, and I look forward to talking with you.

Just sign me,
Embarrassed daughter

I was in World War II.
My unit was:

2830 th Combat Engineers Battalion
Commander: Lt Col Beasley

Company Commander: Capt Tetley

Squad Leaders: Sgt Albright
Cpl Cernock

7 th Army

Our unit was stationed out side of Epinal, France. Our location was near Strasburg, France

I was in the unit between Sept, 1944 thru Jun, 1945.

We maintained French roads, built small stream bridges, and put together Baily Bridges across small streams. Also we laid anti tank mine fields and bobbed wire concertina tank traps.
On the first week of May 1945 we made the Rhine River crossing into Germany. We ferried Infantry troops and tanks & trucks across the Rhine River.

I did my basic traing at Camp Leonard Wood, Missouri.

My father Robert Nique was attached to the 540th during WWII and told a lot of stories. He passed away on January 11, 2008 just shy of 86 yrs. I wish I had discovered your website before he passed. I'm sure there would have been more stories he could have recollected. I'm sure all who respond to this site feels as I do that these stories and pictures should be preserved as best as can be. You are doing a grand job. Thank you.

His battles and campaigns included Algeria-French Morocco; Sicily; Naples-Foggia; Rome-Arno; Rhineland; and Southern France. According to information from your website, this regiment was redesignated as the 2832nd Engineer Combat Battalion. All of the information that I have on my father's service comes from his discharge papers. I am so overwhelmingly grateful to have found this site. I know that you have spent so much time and put in so much effort on organizing all of this information and it is much appreciated.

In WW II I was a member of the 1204th Engineer Fire Fighting Platoon that saw service in North Africa, Italy, France and Germany. It made the D-Day landing on the Southern French coast on 15 August 1944 and saw its war end in Munich. The 1204th was one of the original ten of these units created in August 1942 and one of the first four sent overseas in early April 1943.

If any any WW II EFFP or EAFFP members read this please be in touch.

My grandpa doesn't talk much about the war but, when prompted, will sometimes tell of his times as a halftrack driver during the war and the miserable time he had at Anzio. Great to see a website dedicated to him, his outfit, and others who did more than their part to keep freedom alive.

My father, Sergeant Sam Grano, served with the 36th Combat Engineers in North Africa, Sicily, etc. and was a purple heart recipient. He is now deceased. While looking at Vito Cupertino's photos, low and behold, there was my Dad. As a child, he fondly spoke of his "brothers", and in 1974 I went with him to a reunion in Pennsylvania where I had a chance to meet firsthand, all the friends he had spoken about for years. For two days, I just sat and listened to the stories. It is a memory I will carry to my grave. I have a collection of photos that I will forward to you as soon as I can because, hopefully, someone else will get to enjoy this site as much as I have. Thank you so much.

“Documenting & Preserving the Personal Experiences
of World War 2 Veterans Since 1998”


January 27th 2008


Dear Fellow Veteran:

In 1998, I began my project to collect stories from World War 2 veterans and their families for the purposes of preserving and presentation to today’s youth, adults and future generations before these memories will one day no longer be available.

My collection of over 215 World War 2 stories has received appreciation and recognition from the General Patton Memorial Museum at Chiriaco Summit in California where it is exhibited during special events.

Please contact me to discuss the details of my project, and how you can be an important source of World War 2 history by telling your story about your personal military service and sacrifices.

Participant references and testimonials regarding my work are available.

Very respectfully,

Peter D. Minix
Former SGT. U. S. Marine Corps
Former California Army National Guard Member

I just found your website today and think it's terrific. I am trying to find information about my father, Frank Szumlanski. He was from Baltimore MD and was a sargeant in the 36th Combat Engineers during WW2. He departed the US in Sept 1942, landing first in Ireland. He fought in the Algeria-French Morocco, Tunisia, Sicily, and Rome-Arno campaigns. His military specialty was automotive mechanic. He departed Europe in July 1944 and was back in the States in August 1944. If anyone reading this can shed some light on Dad's service experience I would greatly appreciate it.

This appears to be one of the finest sites dedicted to combat engineers that I've come across so far. I'm the son of Sgt Robert M. Martin, 2nd Platoon, Bravo Company, 208th Engineer Combat Batallion. My discusson group was an attempt to set something up for family and members of the 208th to share info and pictures. We have posted some pictures there, including photos of 208th maps showing their route of travel fighting from Normandy to Berlin. These maps are also filled with highlights, accomplishments and even has a list of names, rank and addresses for the entire batallion. I look forward to hearing from others and may ask this website master for permission to possibly create a 208th ECB "The Fighting Dozers" section on this site where it may be of better use and more easily reachable.

I first had a look on your guestbook and saw the names of some dear friends, Jim Hennessey, Henri Rogister, Stan Bellens, Linda Cauthart. As you know Marion, when you sign a guestbbook, you are facing a blank page, but here, it is quite different. I have the screen against a backdrop of war. Those engineers who were building bridges during day and night, under fire and strafed by fighters-bombers, in all weather; rain, snow, deep frost...They were expendable. And the job had to be done, in the course. You said your father didn't tell more about his job, but you had a box, with a few souvenirs, tiny papers, letters, very little support, a lot of research, correspondence, and the indescribable will and joy to explain his military career, and you started almost from ground zero that wonderful job, in memory of your dear father. You know Marion all those soldiers of the past, remain at the bottom of our hearts. As long as we think of them they are still alive. All the best and congratulations.

Question for Jim Hennessey - My father never spoke of the war, until just before he passed away on 03/15/2006 at age 82. Pfc Frank G. Pavelock was in the 345th Infantry - 87th Infantry Division (Unknown Company letter). He was in Ardenness, Central Europe, Rhineland Campaigns. He ask me if I would be okay to look into his Bronze Star from WWII. As a veteran myself I said yes dad if you were to get a Bronze Star I well make sure you get it issued in your name. The military tells us his records were lost in the great records fire an only his military discharge papers were on file. He was awarded the follwing above campaigns and ( American Service Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern Service Medal Four times, Good Conduct Medal an the World War II Victory Medal. He said he was issued a CIB but was not listed on his discharge papers so the military will not issue him a Bronze Star. Because his records were lost in the fire. I dad along with others were in the most violent armed conflicts in the history of mankind, but however the military said he can not be issued the CIB and Bronze Star without the paperwork. My family is asking for help from anyone that may of known our dad or can help with the issue on hand. Our local veterans office in Dutchess County, N.Y. said it can not help us without the right paperwork.
Some thanks to a Americans mighty endeavor by a country he loved ever so. Please If you or someone can email me with any information about our dad or help with the above, as another brother veteran thank you for your help.
