A customer dropped in the store the other day and asked about my WWII work. Stated his dad was a WWII engineer and asked if I would like to see his dad's items. Well you guys know the answer to that! Some items were large and difficult to scan, but were so cool and I had to give it my best shot. There was also a book included, and I am making all available to the public. I also shared this with my colleagues, Michael Brodhead and David Ulbrich. It's wonderful to be able to do so. Michael (Army Corps Of Engineer's Office of History), informed me Mel Brooks was a member of the 1104th Engineers. Ah, once again we come full circle. The following info was shared with me by Dennis Monsere, whose father Julian, was with the 554th Engineer Heavy Ponton Bn. I copied the material to the best of my ability, but some of the documents were very large and difficult to scan. 1104th Engineer Group - D-Day to the Elbe (middle section) 1104th Engineer Group - D-Day to the Elbe Allies Drive to the Rhine - Life Magazine Roer River Crossing at Julich Tomahawk Strikes Forward - Newsletter March 1945 554E - book printed 1946 (part one) 554E - book printed 1946 (part two)
