Hi my name is Odis Warren and I'm excited about finding this sight. I have been working on a memorial page for the 14th Combat Engineering Battalion and have come to the point where I need some real experianced advice. I am looking for any advice on how would be the best way to get names of fellow soldiers who served with the 36th / 2827th engineers who gave their lives from 1941-1950. Any leads are really appreciated.

Thank you

Odis Warren
