Hi Lovely lady,

Had a 'chat' to Barbara, she asked me if I

I sent the following to "my Mikes" at the Corps of Engineers Office of History and Army Engineer Magazine.

 

Hello Mike and Mike: (maybe I should have addressed this to the department of redundancy department - ha-ha!)

 

I received a question from a new member of my forum. Her question was this; did I know anything regarding civilian employees working with the Corps of Engineers during WWII?

 

I'm sure this is a broad topic. Actually this was forwarded to me, so I can't fill you in with any other info regarding her question.

 

Can you suggest where I might direct her? Thanks in advance.

 

My best to both of you,

 

Marion

 

Received this response from Mike Morgan:

 

Try this for starters. There have always been civilians working for the Army Corps of Engineers and they make up by far the largest percentage of the work force in that major command. If you're talking about troop units, however, and women involved therein, that's a different story.

Received this answer from Michael Broadhead:

 

Hi, Marion--

 

So good to hear from you. So many people say such good things about you.

 

Can you find out if your inquirer is looking for information on a specific

employee or group of employees? If so, she can try the National Personnel

Records Center in St. Louis. The records for civilian personnel there did

not burn up in the 1973 fire.

 

cpr.center@nara.gov

(314) 801-9250

 

If she wants other kinds of information she can contact me and I'll see what

I can do.

 

Warm regards,

 

Mike

Barbara, if you are out there, please respond to this post by replying here. This is about as far as we can go without knowing any specifics related to your question. :armata_PDT_01:
