370th Engineer Combat Battalion

Hello to all,

This site has been a wealth of information for me over the years, and I am again coming back with another request. Within my research I have hit a roadblock in completing my grandfather's service timeline. It seems that the information via morning reports has not yet been digitized at the National Archives yet so, I turn to all of you in hopes of finding the rest of his history. I am able to follow somewhat of a timeline leading up to the end of 1944 but the reports for his units in 1945 are yet to become available. I have photos he left me that show where he was but not facts to support the images. My hope is that someone may have some information so we can do a swap and with luck, help each other out. Thank you for hearing my story and for all the help I have already received. If you want to do an info trade, please let me know and I will be glad to share.

Thank you all,

Dan

I received the following email:

Good Morning Marion,

Thank you for your quick reply. I have been involved in genealogy for more than 45 year and am in the process of downsizing and looking for good homes for my "stuff".

I was doing a wide sweep of sites. If I recall correctly, it seems my father has the same timeline as something I read on your site. I have attached the picture of the 1281 Combat labeled Manila, Nov 1945. If you can make a connection to anyone in the photo, I will check the many letters my father wrote home and the many other pictures I have.
Hopefully, I can make a contact.

I found another page dedicated to Jim, here

Currently, I'm attempting to acquire a PDF of his book, Fire Fighters in Fatigues. Of course, if I'm successful, I will share it with everyone.

@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.
