I enjoyed your website and the story of your efforts to learn more about your father's service. I've been engaged in a similar project, but based on my father's many letters written while serving in the 147th Combat Engineers Battalion. Thank you for your work.

I am researching information on my father, Russell E. Riemer (235th Engineering Combat Battalion). My research indicates that my father was injured in Mignano, Italy on 1/8/44 during the 1109th's advance through Italy. I am hoping to make contact with relatives of the 235th who may have served with my dad. He spoke fondly of Capt. Thomas "Tommy" Thompson (also of the 235th) who was KIA on 1/8/44.

I was looking for information about my wife's uncle's WW2 service and was happy to find his name listed below a picture of him "PFC (Joe) Scatta" of the 3rd squad / 3rd Platoon of BCO, 48th ENG BN in the pdf book "We the 48th". The picture is difficult to see, and I was wondering if there is a way to buy a better version so I can show Joe his picture.

Ona personal not, as a 32 year Army vet, it's nice to see such strong devotion to a unit.

Looking for any who were at the Maison Rouge bridge durint the refortification and/or when the tank fell through the un refortified portion, in January, 1945. My uncle (deceased)John McVey was the Engineer OIC that told the Armor folks the bridge would not hold.

I also am a vet, Viet Nam, 2d Bn (Mech) 2d Inf, 1st Inf Div. He also had designed a 16 foot "guide" for guiding bailey bridge emplacement. he was either a 1LT or CPT at the time of Maison Rouge, later retiring from the USAR as an LTC.

Thanks in advance.

My father, Robert J. Glaser, serviced with the 235 combat engineers. He did not talk about his war record, but I am trying to research it for his grandchildren and great grand children. Your site has been inspirational.

Thanks

I am looking for some info.

I would like to know what SSI was worn by the 291st Engineer Combat Battalion when they were reactivated for the Korean War???

I know from pictures and having the privilege of talking to Col. Pergrin twice back in 1999, the 291st wore the 1st Army patch during WWII

Thanks in advance

Steve

Admin reply: I am going to send you several links via email. The 291st was part of the 39th Engineer Group (Construction), during the Korean War.

am writing a book about the temporary American cemetery GELA in Sicily. Over 1,200 men and women killed in the battle for Sicily in 1943 were buried here. Hope to have the book finished nexr year July 2013 for the 70th anniversary of operation Husky.
I have all the names of them and also know in what grave the were buried. About 70% of them were repatriated, 30% were buried in Europe and North Africa.
Any information and/or pictures are more than welcome

Re: Robert C. Fonner
Update - I see with further exploration that Robert served with the 48th Combat Engineer (C) Regiment, not the 1108th, as I previously indicated.
Hope this helps in any research being done!

Admin reply: The 1108th Engineer Group (regiment) consisted of the 48th and 235th Battalions.

RE: Robert Cole Fonner
I wish to inform the members of the 1108th Engineer (C) Group that Robert Cole Fonner passed away on Aug. 12, 2008, in Monticello, IL.
I have been doing genealogy research on the Fonner family (my mother's maiden name), and the search for data on Robert yielded the Final Newsletter of "The Scoop from Group", December 2009.
If you would like further information on Robert or his family, please do not hesitate to contact me.
