My father was wondering if anyone served with the 235th Combat engineers. He was in Company B and served in North Africa, made the invasion at Salerno, was at the Rapido River and was wounded at Cassino. Thanks for your help.

 

Best regards,

 

George

Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 01-20-2008, 07:20 PM - Forum: VETERAN'S REUNIONS - Replies (20)


Just received a phone call from David Wagner of the 39th Engineers. They had their last reunion in 2007 and he wanted to know where the 36th and 540th were going to meet this year. Wouldn't that be wonderful if he could make it too. Then we would have representatives from THREE engineer units all together in one place. David, I hope you and Selma can make it. Would finally be able to meet you in person. :armata_PDT_37:

There will be a banquet Saturday evening. This is a semi formal affair.

 

DVD presentations by YOURS TRULY will be shown throughout the weekend.

 

Bring your photos, etc. We have a LOT of fun reminiscing!
