Greetings from Warren's Son. My father, Warren Schroeder, was with the 292nd Engineers and while doing some research I discovered your website. My father has been deceased for many years and I wish I could question him about his past experiences. He did not talk too often or in depth about what he did and saw. He was wounded in North Africa at Kasserine Pass, I remember him saying. You will see from the transcript that he went on to many other countries after that.
Anyway, I felt the need to share what little I had of his past and thought you would be interested in seeing his military record. I attached a copy along with some photos of him and hopefully it can be enlarged by clicking on it. Let me know what you think.
Best regards,
Dennis Schroeder
Hello Dennis!
We are certainly glad that you have found us and hope you will hang out with us for awhile. Unless I have lost track, counting you now makes 8 individuals on this fine forum that had relatives in the 292nd, one more an we can have our own baseball team! There is one observation I have made so far about your father's service, and that is he must have belonged to another unit before the 292nd. The reason I say this is because the 292nd were active in the Rhineland and Central Europe campaigns only. The 292nd was formed on 5 NOV 1943 and with your father entering service in 1941 he must have belonged to a different unit before being transferred to the 292nd. We look forward to anything you my have to share with us and I would like to wish you a warm welcome to the forum. Have a good one Dennis!
