Marion,
We have conversed before as you assisted me with getting in touch with Doug Wilbur about his father. Obviously it has been a long time since I have been back on looking at the combat engineers sites because I have just learned the sad news that Doug passed away in 2010. I just saw the site he created "The Wounding of Charlie Wilber", which is an excellent site and a great tribute to his father. I am convinced that my Uncle Peter Paul Evans served with his father as they both were in the same unit and spoke about some of the same events. I want to send my condolences to Doug's family. Please pass this on if the opportunity ever arises. Thank you very much.
Respectfully,
Ron Day

My father, Frank I. Pethick Jr. served with the 1124 Combat Engineers during WWII. He and his men built pontoon bridges and milled timber at one point to sure up roads so that men and equipment could get to the Battle of the Bulge. After dad's death in 1995 his grandsons and I received his footlocker which was full of things from the war, including many maps, orders from Headqtr's, and many photographs some labeled Restricted and some Confidential. I still have all of those things. Also the original portrait of Dad don by one of his men. I would be interested in sharing these and talking with anyone who know details of this unit.

Love your website. I am the historian for the 1871st and 1874th Army Aviation Engineer Battalions (South Pacific Theater). My father was a Lt in the all black enlisted 1871st and my Uncle served with both the 1871st and 1874th. Have compiled quite a bit on the 1874th, but it is difficult to find anything much on the men of the 1871st.

My father was a demolition expert with company C, 337th Combat Engineers. He started out in Battery F, 13th training battalion out of Ft. Eustis, Va., then a cook with the 505th Antiaircraft Bn. I am trying to determine how he went from the 505 to the 337.

My husband, Madison H. Briscoe, Athens, Ga. was a member of the 1264th Engineer Combat Battalion, Co. "B". he would be 91 years old this year; I am wondering if there are any survivors left and regret that we did not stay in touch with other members over the years. It's amazing the information we can now get with computers.
If anyone has any information or wishes to contact me please do so. 706-543-1159

My father was a WWII 172nd Combat engineer. Did not know if any of his buddies were still alive. He attended reunions yearly up until the last few years he was alive. His name was Oris Eubanks. I met Smitty, Fitzpatrick, Duffy, John, others I remember but their names I can't remember.

My father was in Battle of the Bulge, Rhineland, Europe, Utah Beach.
