I am almost done restoring my 1942 Ford GPW, as I was sanding down someone's terrible paint job when I found its units identification markings. 1st Armored Division, 16th Engineering Battalion (1(Triangle) 16E - A10). Looking for anyone that has info/pics of the 16E, trying to find a pic of my GPW in its glory days! Or if you know a good website to search that would help.
Admin reply: I have some info for you:

I could probably put you in touch with some re-enactor friends who do restorations. Let me know.

Hi, I am looking for any info on 246 Field Company RE from Dec1942. My father was a L/SGT with this betalian and I know very little, as dad (like many others no doubt) very rarely talked about his time in the war. I have been reading extracts from Brian Guy and find it fascinating. I really would love to understand how my dad servived the 4 years at war and thankfuly came home safely.
Many thanks
