A friend of mine from the 327th Engineers (WWII) posed the following question:

Dick, you might remember and if not, I'm sure Laurie will research it. The code names or abbreviations that were used for all of the different explosives we used. #1 TNT, #2 C4, #3 C2, #4 Primer Cord (cordite?), #5 Fomite of mercury caps(blasting caps), #6 Bangalors, #7 Pull Fuses, #8 Anti tank Mines.(no dynamite, it was dangerous!)

I'm trying to remember the things we used everyday and that I always carried in the jeep.

I did try to research it online - without much luck. I did find references & links to the Army field manual "FM 5-250 Explosives and Demolitions", but access is restricted. Could this be the document with the "codes"?

Thanks for your help with this!

Big news for my fellow ancient history followers. This is big news for Egyptian historians.

I was called about an interview I had today. By a civil service employee who worked at my old place ofeimployement His name was Ken Baldwin, he said he played Guitar! Had just returned from a 3 year job in Hohenfels Germany.

So I wanrted more and did a search, here is what I found http://cdbaby.com/cd/kenbaldwinhttp://cdba...m/cd/kenbaldwin and he works civil service for a living.

The granddaughter of a vet posted this on another forum. She posted this article and stated:

"Does anyone know anything about the place mentioned in this bit from an old article? My grandpa doesn't remember for sure.....
