Hello all,

 

I've just added some new photos to the site, and both are Engineer Regiments.

 

The first, from eBay, is of a unidentified solider with the 338th, possibly H&S company with the band. The photos were taken at Camp Claiborne between December 1942 and January 1943.

 

Second is two galleries from my grandads unit, the 393rd Special Services Engineer regiment. Some were taken in LaHavre and Paris and a couple might have been taken at Claiborne.

 

I have more of his to post, but I'm giving my brain the rest of the night off.

Love the new photos. Time consuming isn't it?

 

Looking through your granddad's unit...I especially love the Bailey bridge images; just enamored with Baileys! :armata_PDT_01:

 

The snow was really DEEP in some of those too. And that hole in the side of the buidling. Wow!

It's insanely time consuming, but fun.

 

And considering I was only researching my grandads unit, the irony of me having a entire Claiborne site is kinda funny.
