Hello, from John Taylor's proud daughter

[Walt's Daughter]

Received this letter from Darrel Pace today, trying to help the following woman:

 

Good morning Marion,

 

I love the addition of the photo gallery to your website. It looks really great!

 

I had this request come in yesterday and I was wondering if you had this information since I do not. Can you help them?

 

Keep up the good work!

 

Sincerely,

 

Darrell Pace

Hello,

 

I'm not sure if you can help me. But I was looking for an insignia or symbol of a certain branch of army. It is for WW2 78th Infantry Division, 303rd Combat Engineering Batallion. My grandfather served and I was looking to get a tattoo of the branch he served under. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks so much,

Kelly

They were a HUGE help to me. Sent me a ton of info on my dad's unit!

Attaching b&W images of the engineer crest. This is from a book of mine. Still looking for a color crest.

 

I will get back with you, if I find anything else.

 

Warmly,

Marion
