Hello,

My name is John (Jack) Cherry. I am an unofficial Internet sleuth for the Cape Cod Military Museum, I am disabled and spend a lot of my time tracking down the Military History of Cape Cod. One of focal points is the Engineer Amphibious Command formed at Camp Edwards, on 15 June 1942. We are in search of accounts, photographs and memories of any and all of those that spent time on Cape Cod, as part of their Military service, in this or any other Commands here. In my short time here as a member, I have found a lot of material and am very thankful to M-1 for accepting me as a member and providing a great site to utilize in my search for information.

An "Auto-Biography" of a Jeep!

Looking for information on where the 2756th combat engineer battalion fought from December 1944 to July 1945. My  Dad, Julius Spradling, JR., was a first lieutenant Intelligence officer during this time. I have an article I found on the Internet that showed they were attached to the 101st Cavalry Group (http://www.trailblazersww2.org/pdf/101stcavalry_part1.pdf) from Feb. 9 to March 10. Thank you, Julius Spradling, III

I have 2 Engineer patch questions....

1...I would like to know where on the uniform was a small 2 1/4" x 1 3/4" red w/white trim and white Engineer Castle worn?? What did it signify ???
2...During WWII, the 291st Engineer Combat Battalion wore the 1st Army patch as their SSI. When the unit was re-activated for the Korean War, did they still use the 1st Army as their SSI??
