Alcan Highway Alaska 1942

[Walt's Daughter]

This woman just wrote to me trying to find out info on these two units listed. NOTE that they ARE REGIMENTAL UNITS, not DIVISIONAL.

 

I found this webpage regarding it that lists the units. Looks like they were British units.

Hi, for a short kids book on Canadian geogrpahy I'd like to contact someone who was involved in building the Alcan Highway in 1942. Records show it was the Corps of Engineers 36th and 340th Divisions.

 

I'd like to find someone who can email or chat for a very few minutes - the whole interview will be about one paragraph but it would be great to have firsthand voice.

 

Any suggestions? I need to reach someone in the next five or six days.

 

Thank you,
