Hello Ann, welcome to the forum. We have a lot of documentation on the 36th Combat Engineer Regiment on the main site under the "Engineer History" tab, http://www.6thcorpsc...s.com/36th.htm. Marion can put you in touch with several veterans of the 36th.
Your grandfather enlisted on 15 April 1942 at Fort Custer, MI. He resided in Alpena County, MI. Date of birth: 1915
His Army Serial Number is: 36180686
I might question his being in Company C, Company C was in 1st Battalion & !st Battalion was redesignated the 2826th Bn.
The 2828th Bn was formed from 3rd Battalion, which had "G" "H" & "I" companies.
My thinking is he was in "G" company instead of "C".
