Thank you for the link to that great film Vee. In 13 years of WW2 research that is the first time I have seen Ernie Pyle shown on a newsreel ! There is also a lot of footage of US engineers at work too.

I will definitely make time to look at it later. Busy day with work on my end. Can't wait to see it.

Verow,
You have done it again! I forwarded the video on and want you to know how much others appreciate your efforts - including, of course, me!
Thank you,
