Franklin Wisor - 540th Combat Engineer - Walt's Daughter - 04-17-2006


Fantastic! Another family member contacted me regarding the 540th. An A-1 photo is included. The photo was taken in Italy in 1944.

I found your website. Wonderful! My wife's grandfather served with the 540th Combat Engineers. Unfortunately he passed away several years ago. His name was Franklin Wisor of Woodland, PA. I have attached a photograph of him taken in Italy in 1944. He is the one holding the reins on the goat cart! I do not know the names of the other two men with him.

Here is Noel's second email to me. I was very impressed!

Marion,

 

Thank you for your kind note.

 

I hold a Masters Degree in Military History and have published numerous articles on a variety of subjects. I will be more than happy to help out in any way.

 

While I was researching my grandfather's service in WWII with the 795th MP Battalion, I started writing an article on the OSS in North Africa. The article appeared in the January 2003 issue if World War II Magazine.

 

Again, if there is anything I can do to assist your project, I would be happy to do so...
