341st Engineers
#1

Hello everyone,

 

My grandfather George Nelson served in the 341st engineers in Europe. He died unexpectedly in 1972 before I was born and without really relating a lot of his experiences. I've made some half hearted attempts to research him in the past but don't know what company he was in etc. He was an amateur photographer so we have some pictures that I will try to scan and post.

 

He had been in the Engineers in the 1930s and served in the Panama Canal Zone. In WWII he worked at Remington Arms Company as a security guard until he was drafted in '43 or '44. Because of his prior service he was apparently promoted to Sgt. He went to some training in the Southern California oilfields and then to England and Europe. I really don't know much about it except a few anecdotes my grandmother Father and aunt remembered.

 

Will add more shortly...
