My father was part of the 36th Engineers CO. C, from Africa to Munich. I am sorry to say he passed away before I understood the magnitude of the history contained in his memory. So now I am trying to reconstruct the best I can. Dave

I would be around 10 or 11 when the war broke out, and living in Glasgow, Scotland at that time. The wonderful American soldiers would throw gum and choclate bars to us from their train. My sisters and I went to a lot of movies as we didn't have any television at that time either. Would like to extend an ivitation to you and your viewers to visit our Website, intro song sung by Mr. Al Jolson, The Andrew sisters singing "The Boogey Woogey Bugle Boy", Christmas with Bing, and much more. We have wonderful links and a Guest Book that we would love you to sign, if you have the time. My sisters thank you, and I thank you. Would also like to have you linked up to our site.

How did you find my website?   Google Where are you from?   North Carolina Please enter your comments:   My dad, Bill Hicks, was a PFC in the 87th, Acorn Div. Company E. He was very active with the group that meets around Rochester NY, and was instrumental in funding the Memorial Hwy outside Rochester on I390. My dad passed away in Dec. 2005. I would love to meet anyone who may have known my dad when he was in the army. One memorable account he tells about was being wounded by a fellow comrade, while they were looking at a german gun in their tent. If anyone remembers that story please email me. thanks.

How did you find my website?   Through the Trailblazers (70th Div Assoc to which I belong) Where are you from?   Niederbronn, Alsace, France Please enter your comments:   I was first fascinated by the recordings of the WWII music. Beautiful and it brings back memory though I was too young to really remember it. I am a Seventh Army historian, have written "Winter Storm - war in northern Alsace Nov 1944 - March 1945" (unfortunately out of print and hard to get even as used)and therefore have done some research into the engineers' role in WWII in my area. I conduct tours of the battlefields in this area and was recently the tour guide for the 100th Div in the northern Vosges. Looking forward to visiting your site again and helping if I can. Keep up the good work. Lise

Dad would rarely talk about the war, but the Ansio Beach experience was a defining time of his life. A few years ago, I went with Dad to an Ansio Beach reunion in Colorado Springs where he met up with his buddy from the 36th, Les Worrell. My Dad has passed on and I would very much appreciate any info I can get about him and what he went through in the war.

How did you find my website?   search of 937th engineer batalion Where are you from?   Oklahoma City, OK Please enter your comments:   My dad, Jack Moore, was in the 937th aviation camoflage engineer batalion in WW2. They landed in Normandy Omaha Beach approximately D-day+10. The allied forces had still not broken out from the hedgerows and there was still German resistance in the towns of St.Lo, Cann and Carentan. Their mission was to build both dummy airfields for the Germans to expend their bombs and hasty runways for fighter planes to take off from. They traveled through France, Belgium, Luxemberg, Holland, and Germany. Dad did talk of being strafed by German fighter planes and a buz-bomb landing in a nearby hedgerow that killed a soldier. He told me a story of how a German fighter plane dived at him from above while he was in a rail yard trying to hide in the snow on a moon lit night between some rail road tracks. The plane dropped a bomb about a hundred meters down the tracks (too close for comfort). The 937th trained hard to fight the enemy if necessary however as dad says it, "I got a good ringside seat to see the war and never fired on the enemy."

How did you find my website?   I am "Ed's Daughter" on the Army Engineer Site Where are you from?   Issaquah, WA, near Seattle Please enter your comments:   I found your site from your post on the IX Engineer site. My father served in the 937th Engineer Aviation Camouflage Battalion, although I can find no evidence in his letters that he flew. I have letters he wrote to his parents and wish my mother had saved the ones he had written to her. My father, Ed Dubert, wrote many letters from England, France, Germany, Belgium and Holland. He was among those who cleared the way for the Normandy invasion. On his commendation are listed his Commanding officers Alan F. Henry and Captain Bondy. My father never spoke of the war, even though I asked as a little girl and as a young woman. I now understand this is very typical. But I strive to understand more about his experiences, especially in the months between May and July and July and September, 1945 when the war was ending and there were gaps where he did not write. He said he had much to tell but I never heard it. I have created a scrapbook of his letters, transcribing them from his handwritten letters from 1944 and 1945. This is a website I will visit often and may even begin one myself and include his letters.

For dad it was the first time back in 60 years. It was the trip of a lifetime for both of us. At Sicily Rome Cemetery services he was the sole returning vet - and hence the guest of honor. At Florence Cemetery we found the graves of men he had fought alongside. We rented a car and followed Rt 65 (Easy Street as they called it) to Livergnano. His unit - 3rd Battalion, 361st Regiment, 91st Division won the Presidential Unit Citation there. The bells at the little church rang in his honor that day !

How did you find my website?   Googled 188th Engineer Where are you from?   Kings Mountain, NC Please enter your comments:   My father was Edward Prasse. He was the S-3 of the 188th Engineer Combat Bn during the war. At the end of the war he became the Commander of the 2828th Engineer Combat Bn which had been the 3rd Bn of the 36th Engineer Regiment. After the war the 2828th was deactivated and then reactivated as the 19th Engineers. Quite coincidentally, when I joined the Army I was assigned to the 19th Engineers. When I read the "Lineage and Honors" I was surprised to be part of a unit with such a history but even more amazed that I was in the same Battalion as my dad had been in. I have always been proud of my dad but the older I get the more amazed I am at what he and his generation accomplished. Men and women alike- my mom worked at Carter Carburetor making fuses for artillery shells.

How did you find my website?   Searching for Information Where are you from?   Originally from Maryland Please enter your comments:   Thank you so much! Finally, after years of searching I have at least found some link to my late Uncle's important past. I have the same company photo of Baker Company 326th Airborne Engineer Company that you have on your page about "Memories of Charles A. Wilbur". My Uncle is also in that picture so obviously served with him. His name is Sgt. Peter Paul Evans from West Virginia. Everyone called him Paul. One of the trademarks that I remember as a young boy, was that he always smoked cigars or at least had a short stogie in his mouth. He was awarded 2 Bronze Stars and at least 2 Purple Hearts. If anyone knows him or anything about what the 326th did during the war, I would be very excited to hear from you. Please contact me at templar40@yahoo.com Thank You Marion for your efforts and for remembering those hero's that will be forever remembered.

How did you find my website?   3rd Infantry Div. link I believe. Where are you from?   Richmond, Missouri Please enter your comments:   I was looking for info about my Dads service in WWII. His dd-214 says he was in the 316 Combat Engineers Co.C 91st Div. when he was mustered out in 1945. He was a explosives expert due to his experience in rock quarries and coal mines in this area. He was also trained at Fort Lewis Washington,Camp Adair Oregon, and Camp White in Oregon. He saw action in North Africa, Scily, and Italy. He never spoke much about the horrors of his combat experiences but spoke with great fondness and brotherhood of the good times he had with all his fellows soldiers. I can't find any one outfit that was in all the places his dd214 says but thanks to you I now know that the Combat Engineers were with many different outfits. I would appreciate any info anyone could give to help with my search.

How did you find my website?   website link Where are you from?   Oak Lawn, Illinois Please enter your comments:   I was a baby when World War II started and do not have many vivid recollections of the war but as an adult I began to appreciate the tremendous effort and sacrifice made by the young men and women of the generation that preceded mine. I cannot fully express the admiration and thankfulness I feel for their bravery and dedication in fullfilling their roles until victory was finally achieved. It grieves me to think of the rows and rows of graves, in this country and abroad, of those brave men and women who didn't come home or didn't come home alive. I had five uncles who all served in the Navy during World War II and who all did come home alive and though they are all gone now I will be forever grateful for their service to our country during those very difficult times. I hope people of succeeding generations continue to appreciate the freedom and liberty that people of previous generations secured for them. May God continue to bless America!

How did you find my website?   surfing Please enter your comments:   Dear Sir, I am working on a book about the American repatriation camp Tophat in Antwerp/Belgium 1945-46. I am trying to locate ex-service men for whom Antwerp was their last foothold in Europe when the war ended. Miss SherilynNantz is so kind to help me with the research and forwarded me Your e-mail. The camp was set up bij the 19th AAA division with the 556 & 559 AAA in the leading role. They had a Tophat as unit symbol which was painted on their vehicles and later the name Tophat became the name of the camp. More than 270.000 men were processed here on their home gooing trip. The American forces set up a series of camps to bring their troops home after the end of hostilities. Mostly in France a nd they were names >'Sigarette Camps' as each had the name of a sigarette brand (Camp Lucky Strike, Camp Pall Mall, Camp Chesterfield, etc). Out of line, Tophat was named after the unit which build it. But a Belgian sigarette company manufactured 'Tophat sigarettes' so it became unintentional a sigarette camp after all .... The former site of Camp Tophat is still there. When it was evacuated in April 1946, a park was created a te site. A brook and pumping station are called Tophat so the name will live for generations to come. I do the lay-out for the book for a set of 3 friends-authors. They did a lot of digging at the site and found amazing things of camp life. As the ex-service men were allowed only one souvenir gun to take home, and many had an arsenal with them, a lot started digging to get rid of these things. The collection of the trio now holds Schmeisser guns, Colt, bajonetts and >several cases of material bejond imagination. Even 1941 marked Coca Cola bottles are found and filled again courtesy our local Coca Cola Company. The book is basically a photobook with some text. We are looking for any Tophat related material. We are lacking anything of the Tophat unit which gave its name to the camp. Can you help me out ? Kindest regards, Jean Dillen Jean.Dillen@antwerpen.be PS Jean is male on this side of the Atlantic

He first spent time in Hawaii building island defences. He then went to Ft. Brown Texas and trained two companies of engineers. The first went to the pacific and the second to Europe. Upon arriving in Europe He fought his way across France into Germany and then Cezchloslavacia. I know that spelling is incorrect, but oh well. I have know idea where to look for his units. All he told me he was assigned to the Third Army Headquarters. His unit was like a fire brigade. Sent quickly to areas that needed reinforcement. Where would I look? Who do I write? He joined in 1938 ond retired 1962 Thank you so much for this site.

This Picture was made early during WWII and my daddy was picked to pose for it. He went to the Pentagon from his unit at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. He was selected for this prestigious duty because of his baving been chosen as the best "all around soldier" at Ft. Belvoir. The resulting full color 1942 poster produced using his likenss more than met expectation. Today, it is still in use in many formats. One was a 35 1/2 mural which I have the original negitive of. It also is hanging in the Army Engineer School at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. He served in the Pacific Theater where he remained for thirth-three months. Assigned as a demolitions specialist and later an intelligence sergeant in the 43rd Engineers and 18th Regimental Combat Team. He fought the Japanese on New Guinea.

How did you find my website?   Google Where are you from?   Missouri Please enter your comments:   My dad (Silas Howard West-went by Howard) was in World War II and I believe he was in the 540 Battalion Engineer. I know he was in these campaigns: Sicilian, Naples-Foggia, Rome-Arno, So. France, Rhineland, & Central Europe. The copies of his discharge papers say 270th Engr C BN. He was gone for 38 months. We had a book but after he died the book has been misplaced and no one can find it. I am trying to find as much information as possible about what he went thru. I know his papers were destroyed in the fire back in 1973 here in Missouri. I believe he was in the Army from Nov 1942 until Oct 1945 but could be mistaken - the dates are real hard to read. I would appreciate it if anyone who knew him could get me some info or tell me where to look. By the way the website was real insightful. Thanks!
