Hey!  

When I hired a researcher years ago to acquire the unit records of the 540th, I also wound up with some duplication. I've put these aside and am offering them to anyone who would like to have them. There are not dupes of every page of course, but when my researcher copied them in Maryland, we somehow wound up with extra copies of many of the pages. The only thing I ask is that you pay for postage. 

If you are interested, please post here and I will be happy to share with you.

Attached are some of the photos my late father, O.W. "Bud" Pendergast took.  I don't know any of the names or locations, but they give a sense of what life was like in the company.  After the war ended he transferred to a harbor craft company, so some of these pictures might be from then.
