309th engineers, 84th Division

[Frank Gubbels]

To all,

I haven't posted for quite some time and normally I didn't post a lot regarding engineers. A few days ago I received this picture. On the backside of the picture is the text: 84th division, 309th engineers at the Roer, you can see the patch on the shoulder of the trooper who is up front and it's definetely the "Railsplitter" patch. So this picture must have been taken in 1945 just before or after these men crossed the Roer river in Germany.

I thought it could be a small and nice addition to the website. If someone wants the better quality picture, just let me know and I can e-mail it to you.

 

Regards,

Frank
