Don't forget our fallen at Fort Hood!
Dedicated To
This site features information regarding the 36th (2826th, 2827th & 2828th), 39th, 540th (2832nd & 2833rd) and the 1108th (48th & 235th) Combat Engineer Regiments, who bravely fought against the Axis powers from North Africa into Sicily, Italy, France, Central Europe and ended their tour of duty in Germany in 1945.
I am dedicating this site to my father, Walter (Monday) Poniedzialek , of the 540th and all the other outstanding engineers of VI Corps. Any photos, stories, letters, links or other information are most welcome. I'd love to hear from veterans, their family members and friends.
My Goals
Since the site's inception in June of 2004, it has gone from a couple of pages on my dad and his unit, to what you see before you today. This site not only includes the stories and history of the VI Corps engineers, but now features the memoirs and photos of various other soldiers from airborne to infantry.
If you are a WWII vet or a family member and wish to include your history or the history of a loved one, I'd like to hear from you. My main emphasis is to acquire the history of the men who served with the 1st, 3rd, 9th, 34th, 36th, & 45th Infantry Divisions, 1st & 2nd Armored Divisions, 82nd Airborne, and any other unit who fought alongside the 36th, 39th, 540th or 1108th Combat Engineers in the ETO.
