No need to apologize, Darlene.
I am not here every day either.
I know that many Engineer units were sent to the font as a sort of "emergency infantry" to try and stop or slow down the German advances during The Bulge.
Maybe that was the case with this unit too.
I wish I had a place or location as it would make it easier to find where the unit was during that offensive.
Engineer units served well in The Bulge.
They not only served as infantry, but some made it the Germans very difficult by blowing up bridges, blocking roads, etc for many hours and in some cases even days ..... time which was desparately lost for Mr. Jerry.
Interesting to hear they helped build Camp Top Hat which was near Antwerp.
For many years, a lot of US material was dug up there, going from dogtags to kitchen utensils etc.
It was a large transit camp where GIs went through on their way home.
If you want, I can mail you some pictures or post them here.
Just let me know.
Erwin
