234th Engineer Combat Battalion

[Walt's Daughter]

Loic:

 

In response to your email today...The attached PDF has some history of the unit within the pages. It is not complete, but has some helpful info. The pages were copied from a great history of many engineer units in Europe. Unfortunately that is all the offices have within their archives.

 

For a more comprehensive history, you would have to contact NARA (National Archives) in Maryland, or as Michael suggested:

 

I wish I could have found more information. The James T. Controvich

bibliography of unit histories lists a History of the 234th Engineer Combat

Battalion, by Thomas V. Duggan, a copy of which is at the Military History

Institute.

 

Or as Dave suggested:

 

“BRIDGE REPORT; BRIDGING OPERATION ON THE RHINE AT MEHRUM, BY THE 234TH

ENGINEER COMBAT BATTALION” -- ENGINEER SCHOOL LIBRARY, CR 355.31 234TH EN

CBT BN, 1939-45

 

“HISTORY OF THE 234TH ENGINEER COMBAT BATTALION, FROM 4 SEPTEMBER 1943 TO 1

NOVEMBER 1944” -- ENGINEER SCHOOL LIBRARY, CR 355.31 234TH EN CBT BN,

1939-45

 

My suggestion is to (either or the French person) contact the Clarke

Library. Contact Claretta Crawford there. He or his staff may be able to

photocopy or scan sections of the books without damaging them.

claretta.crawford@us.army.mil I believe that you met Claretta on your visit

during ENFORCE. You might remind her who you are.

 

Let me know if you need help with this.
