My dad, Anthony Orphanos, served in the 174th Army Corp of Engineers, on the Island of Leyte. He was in Company A, Second Platoon, Second Squad - Attached to the 96th Infantry Division. He is looking for some men with whom he served, though he is 88 years of age - maybe there are a few remaining! If so - I am sure this website will be a bridge to connect him. Also have a picture of his unit, which could be downloaded, and many other pictures to share. Thank you very much.

I am searching for information about the route of the 1260th Engineers Combat Battalion. My father, John Fanelli, served with them starting at Camp Pickett, VA in 1944. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi to all- I am researching information regarding my father, Frank H. (Sonny Mac) McPherson, Sgt.Major, E9, from 1936 to 1968. Mac served with the 101st and was a hard man and a hard hitter from the start and died that way too, at the age of 66 in 1984. I hope some of his Band of Brothers will write me to give me more info of him during the war - in Holland, Bastogne, Germany. Thank you so much,
Pat McPherson Senn

I am looking for any information on the 207th Engineer Combat Btn. My dad, Pfc Clarence Lockner, served in Co. A, landing on Utah Beach in Normandy in June 1944 and participating in all 5 major battles in Europe. For anyone interested, I have a Continental Parade map, created by someone on the 207th that traces their movement throughout Europe, along with several illustrations of highlights during their movement. I also have a number of photos taken during their time in Europe. I'd love to learn more about these guys who kept the infantry moving. Any help wiould be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Am looking for anyone or any info source on the 1254th Engineer Combat Battalion. My dad, Leonard V. Rascoe was a Capt. in that battalion and held 3 battle stars but could never get him to talk about the war. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I know he was in Belgium for part of his tour but that's about it. Thanks, Len

My father, Otis B. Compton, started WWII as a "90-day wonder" 2nd Lt. and ended as a Captain, Army Corp of Engineers and attached to the 45th, I believe. I've been working on some of the documents he left behind and would love to see a historical account of what was happening at the same time he was writing his letters, etc. What a wonder site and references you provide!

Admin reply: Thank you Donna. Pleased to help. Remember to perform a search on our main site and also the forum. As you can see, we have accrued a wealth of info.

In 1946, I became a retired member of the 1251st Combat Engineer Battalion which operated throughout Europe from late 1944 to the end of the war in 1945. I know that now in 2013 there are few survivors but if any would like to reminisce or descendants doing research, I would like to help.

Looking for my dad's records. I know he was at Camp Bowie in early '42, from there to Scotland, then amphib. landings in N. Africa and Sicily. Up through Italy and France, ending the war in Munich. I don't know what outfit he was in, but I have his dogtags. How can I search "backwards"? When I approached the Nat. Archives the first time, they sent me a copy of my own records! How do they get from a combat engineer in 1942 to a ground pounder in 1966?? Please point me in the right direction!!

Admin reply: Info can be found at the local county level or his state Veteran's Admin office. This is how I obtained a copy of my dad's discharge papers.

Haven't checked this site in a while, and to let you know that my Father, Guy H. Mills is doing well and will have his 92nd Birthday on Sept. 29,of this year. I think he is the only veteran of his 49th Engineer Corp from WWII left. He is still going strong despite the heart and hearing problems he now has.

He is proud of the book written by Mr. Carr about the Battallion and has his copy of it. :D

Admin reply: Hi Barbara: Nice to hear from you and all the best to your dad! :)
