Received this letter from my friend Doug this morning. Happy to say I found some immediate info.

 

...Have you ever heard of the 1276 Engineer Combat Battalion, the fighting Mojacks? A local man just died and he was a member of that outfit.

Later, Doug

 

Here are some pages I scanned and put together about this unit. They were part of the 1141st Engineer Combat Group.

 

 

 

NOTE Jan 2014 -

 

For some reason, we couldn't download the file anymore, so I re-uploaded it for everyone. Sorry about the inconvenience.

comments: I am not sure that you are able to help me, but I am having trouble finding any information on the 1276 Engineer combat BN. My uncle serviced with the unit in wwII, John Tuminello. The only other info I have is the places in was at:Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, England, Iceland, Reykjavik, London, Paris, Brussels, Maastricht and Hannover. His induction Center was Camp Grant Illinois. I would appreciate any help. Thank you

My Dad was also a member of the 1276th. I have some general information and his personal photo album, though not much more than is in the PDF file.
