The general area were Cpl Lee was killed is about all were going to get from online records. XX Corps, & 90th Inf Div were holding a 16 mile front on the west side of the Moselle River on the line of Metz - Thionville. The 1139th Engineers Group would have been in suport of at least 2 divisions, probably 3, and their engineer combat battalions could have been any where from the Meuse River Crossing at Verdon east to the Moselle near Thionville.
