@cwulf82 My father (Lt William Czarnowski) was a platoon leader in the 692nd CA. No doubt he knew Roman "Bud" Frankowski. I looked through my father's photos from the campaign but I couldn't find one of PFC Frankowski.

Hello,
My website recounts a forgotten battle that took place in 1944 between the villages of Peyrolles and Meyrargues in southern France, in which the 180th Regiment of the U.S. 45th Infantry Division took part.

http://pastroptops.free.fr/

It mentions the railway viaduct in Aix-en-Provence and the railway bridge over the Durance River near Pertuis, repaired by the 343rd Engineer Regiment, the pontoon bridge deployed across this river by the 120th Engineer Battalion upstream from Mirabeau, as well as the railway viaduct over the Buëch repaired by the 40th Engineer Regiment near Sisteron.
I would be interested in seeing period photos of these repairs and this battle. Thank you.

Jo-Lyn:

This is a shot in the dark - because the post is so old... My name is Chris. My grandfather was in C Company, 135th Engineer Combat Bn, and served with your Uncle John Denapoli. I am in the midst of a family history project on my grandfather Jack McKenna, and have a few documents that reference John in them... If you still check here for replies, and/or have interest in them reach out here & I'll provide. If you have any photos you know to be of "C Company men", I am interested.

Regards,

-Chris M.
