Marty signed my guestbook this week and sent me a couple of emails. Here is what the last one said. I am including the link for the photo he refers to!

Hello!

My grandfather was CHARLES BRYANT or Charlie as

the soldiers called him. He is the one in the center

on the top row of the H & S COMPANY 2833 rd Combat

Engineers, 4th Platoon. He was one of two sons from a

poor family of farmers in Russell Springs, KY.

I am also the great nephew by marriage of KISLE

MONROE from LAWRENCEBURG, KY. He was an engineer in

the 540th as well. I would love to write and tell you

more. Is this the format or do I need to go another

route. I do have some photos of him and the guys. I

am also inheriting his army locker and I have no idea

what is in it.

Marty
