324th Engineer BN WW11
#11

Marion,

 

Can you help me understand what I'm seeing on my father's discharge

papers?

 

My father's name was Leonard H. McGarvey. He entered service 26 Nov.

'42 and was separated on 1 Oct. '45.

 

On his discharge papers, line 6, "Organization," shows Co. B. 324

Engr Bn, but on line 33, "Decorations and Citations," it shows his 5

bronze stars and Good Conduct "per SO 23 Hq 308 Engr Bn, 11 May 45."

 

Can you shed some light on why both these engineer battalions appear

on his papers? I can't find any information about if the 324th was

disbanded and the men were rolled into the 308th, if my father was

transfered at some point, or what the deal is.

 

I do see that he was awarded bronze stars for the Normandy and

Northern France campaigns that don't show on the posting by Jim

Davis on you Forum pages for the 324th.

 

I suppose I don't know the right questions to ask, or where to look

further.

 

Can you help...or point to where I might look further?

 

Thank you.

 

Bruce McGarvey
