1010th Engineer Treadway Bridge Company
#2

Hi Jeff, welcome to the forum, there`s not much about the 1010th probably because of the late date they arrived in europe, which appears to be around March 1945, only 2 months before the end of the war. They have Campaign Credits for Central Europe & Rhineland and Occupation Duty, Germany 20 May - 14 August 1945.

I found a mention of them in a veteran`s memoir who was in the 1010th but was transfered to another unit. He says the 1010th was training at Camp Ruker, AL. in 1943 at the time he was with them.

There is 2 mentions of them in 12th Army corespondence available at fold3.com. the first is correspondence from 12 Army Group dated 13 march 1945, signed Bradley asking if the 1010th & other units can be eguiped and sent to the army areas by 31 March 1945.

another followup reply dated dated 17 March 1945

Judging by this correspondence the 1010th probably got to the front during or shortly after the Rhine River crossings.
