Well you can send them on CD or
mail me copies from the scanned docs or
attach them one or a few at time (depending on size of file) to an email
Let me know if you need any help. Glad to hear you received docs from NARA.

Well, let's see... I usually recommend that files be kept less than a couple of Meg's. So if you can send them a few at a time. Let's try a couple and see how it goes okay? ![]()

Could you re-send me your e-mail address so I can try and send some of the files? Thanks.

I have just put online a website concerning the 472nd
Engineer Maintenance Company.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~b...ce/ww2/472.html
It has a brief history of the Company and two different lists of names, also pictures.
Hope this will help someone.

Hi Rita:
That is great, great news! Congrats on the website. I will make sure to place your link on our main site this afternoon, in our engineers link section.
It's always nice to see yet another site dedicated to the engineers. I will take a look in a few minutes.
Thanks for joining. We hope you will become a regular!

Rita,
My great uncle was part of this original unit. His name was Norris M Granum. I have been trying to research his time he spent in this unit. He was with this unit from October 1942 to August 1943 when he and some other EM and officers were transferred to the 973rd.
I can't believe how excited I am to be able to find someone else that is interested about the same unit.
I was wondering how much information do you have about the unit? I would like to get intouch and exchange any useful information. I have been able to gather some unit reports and other documents from various govt. sources if these are of any help.
