Aaron, I am always interested in seeing new members here and in welcoming them, looking into the history of what they know of relatives serving with the US Corps of Engineers during WWII.
The 359th landed on OMAHA beach 9th June 1944 and as the largest unit in the US engineers POL organisation was soon operating on the Cherbourg peninsula. The pipelines they constructed and operated there were joined to the famous PLUTO (pipeline under the ocean) across the English channel, sending MT80 motor fuel and avgas aviation gasoline south to Carentan, Alencon and beyond, starting by the 11th of June!
I would be interested to know Aaron, if the above ties in with what you have learnt of your grandfathers service? I hope you enjoy your stay on Marions great website.
Colin
