My father, Herman "Ted" Johns was in co B 1289th Engr Comb BN. His grade was S-SGT. He entered service on March 30, 1943 and was discharged on March 6, 1946.

I have many photos from his time in the service and would like to post or send in copies if someone could guide me through the process.

Regards,
Steve Johns

Admin reply: Fantastic and yes, you should be proud. I have had the honor of meeting many of the men from the 101st Airborne, including Don Burgett and George Koskimaki.

I have a WW II picture of my father-in-law, 1st. Lt. Frank Abella, with a huge sign in the background which begins saying: You re entering Austria, courtesy of VI Corps and then lists campaigns in which VI Corps participated begining with Salerno. Where can I get more information about this? The family is interested in finding out about my father in law's participation in WW II. All we know is that he left the summer of 1943, served in Europe and returned February of 1946.

Admin reply: Wow, that is fantastic. Sure would love to see that. Please get in touch with me.

My father showed me letters that my grandfather sent home from Italy during WW2. He was in the 643rd Engineers Combat Battalion. I will select a few of the letters to share with the group. They reference the heat and parading for General Truscott in August of 1945. One of the letters also references a new atom bomb. Grandpa writes that if we (USA) decides to drop this bomb, the war should end soon! The striking thing about the letter is that it is postmarked August 8th, 1945. Which as you know, was between the first date (8/7/1945-Hiroshima) and second(8/9/1945-Nagasaki)bomb drops. An unbelievable piece of history and my ancestry that I am thankful to have access to and that my father saved after all these years. Thanks :o

Admin reply: Fantastic. You have some wonderful, timeless material there. Looking forward to seeing it. All the best, Marion

My Dad, Gus Bisson, was in Company A, 207th Combat Engineers in WWII. My Dad has passed on, but I have a map that shows 207th participation from Normandy (Utah Beach) until end of WWII. On the back of the map are many names and addresses of those he served with---my Dad was a Platoon Sergeant with Company A. I know that he was also at Camp Swift and participated in the LA Maneuvers before deploying to England on the Queen Mary. Interested in sharing information and maybe trying to locate some of those men who are listed on the back of the map.

Admin reply: Jim, Join my forum. You can share all sorts of info there and get feedback. Looking forward to chatting.

I was looking for info on the 1262 Combat Engineers, but didn't find any. My dad, who is 95 and lives in Washington State, served with them as a sharpshooter to protect those who were putting in bridges. He still is in quite good health, and is involved every year in Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies.

Admin reply: Harold:

We have a bit of info on the 1262nd on my forum. Go there and type "1262nd" in the search box, top right.
