Here are a couple of files that I found interesting. Two of the files contain maps. One was of the 1254th in the ETO. Another copy of this was posted previously, but I think this one has better image quality. The second file is a map of 1254th positions in the Ruhr pocket close to the end of the war. Another file discusses Major R. W. Crump' assumption of command of the battalion. He was the vet that was feature in the "Monuments Men" article I posted previously.
My father was in 3rd squad, 1st Platoon of A ("Able") Company. One of the files contains an image of an autograph page created at a 1254th reunion at some point. My dad's signature ("John Hurley") features prominently in the dead center of this page for "A" Company. My dad chuckled when commented to me that he got that spot because he was the first member of Company A to sign the page.
I have the entire 1254th history in a scanned PDF file. However, it's 66mb and I don't know if it's too big to upload. I'm going to try and see if it works in a subsequent post.
