It appears there hasn't been much activity on this forum for a while.
I recently viewed Ken Burns series "The War". I was interested not only because of its documentation of its history, but because my father went through it.
The reason I'm writing in this forum is that my dad was also in the 49th combat engineers. I do not know what company, however.
He died a couple of years ago.
He, like many, had little that they wanted to share after their experiences there. He was a quiet man, so all the more reason that little is known about it. My mom may know more. I've been drilling her, and she's willing to gather all that she can to assist in piecing together as much as we can of that there is what may be tucked away.
I'll contintue. I just wanted to let you know that I'm out here and will continue to share what I can when its discovered.
