I'm looking for information on the 208th Combat Engineers or other engineer battalions that trained at Camp Breckinridge. Do you have such information?

The 284th trained there as well. I've been in contact with the webmaster.

Thanks for a great website. I am presently working on a book honoring the servicemen and women of World War Two from Clay County, West Virginia. One of the casualties from Clay County is PFC Ralph Fitzwater who was KIA 1 or 2 March 1944 (records differ as to actual day). If anyone has any information on him, please share. Memories of all our fallen of so long ago are fading so quickly. Much gratitude to all our veterans.

My Dad was also in the 160th Engineer Combat Battalion. His name is Edwin Blasingim and I also have his book. I see that your Dad was in C company. I have tried to see his picture in the book but the detail is not good and with a magnifying glass I think I have spotted him in the second platoon, standing, fourth from the right, maybe not. My Dad was the first sergeant in B company. My Dad is 98 and remembers some things very well in detail. Evidently he did not know your Dad personally. When I was younger I had little interest in the things he told me but more and more I am interested and appreciative. I am so thankful for what our fathers did for this country and for us. My Dad has shared many accounts from those days and if you are interested I would share some of them with you. I wish I could have thanked your Dad personally. Glen Blasingim

87th. Engineer Battalion. Hello Kathleen. I served with the 87th. Engineers in Vietnam. I'd like to know more about the battalion during WWII. I know they were working XV Corp Engineer Dump 26 September 1944.
Thanks,

I am trying to find a roster of the combat engineers that were at the Remagen Bridge during the war. My friend has a letter from pic William H. Gore. I am trying to find what unit he is from. Any help would be super. Thank you!

Marion,
We have conversed before as you assisted me with getting in touch with Doug Wilbur about his father. Obviously it has been a long time since I have been back on looking at the combat engineers sites because I have just learned the sad news that Doug passed away in 2010. I just saw the site he created "The Wounding of Charlie Wilber", which is an excellent site and a great tribute to his father. I am convinced that my Uncle Peter Paul Evans served with his father as they both were in the same unit and spoke about some of the same events. I want to send my condolences to Doug's family. Please pass this on if the opportunity ever arises. Thank you very much.
Respectfully,
Ron Day

My father, Frank I. Pethick Jr. served with the 1124 Combat Engineers during WWII. He and his men built pontoon bridges and milled timber at one point to sure up roads so that men and equipment could get to the Battle of the Bulge. After dad's death in 1995 his grandsons and I received his footlocker which was full of things from the war, including many maps, orders from Headqtr's, and many photographs some labeled Restricted and some Confidential. I still have all of those things. Also the original portrait of Dad don by one of his men. I would be interested in sharing these and talking with anyone who know details of this unit.

Love your website. I am the historian for the 1871st and 1874th Army Aviation Engineer Battalions (South Pacific Theater). My father was a Lt in the all black enlisted 1871st and my Uncle served with both the 1871st and 1874th. Have compiled quite a bit on the 1874th, but it is difficult to find anything much on the men of the 1871st.

My father was a demolition expert with company C, 337th Combat Engineers. He started out in Battery F, 13th training battalion out of Ft. Eustis, Va., then a cook with the 505th Antiaircraft Bn. I am trying to determine how he went from the 505 to the 337.
