292nd Engineer Combat Battalion (New Member)

[Sir Gator]

Ok everybody,

Here are the photos I have that have more than just my grandfather in them.

 

 

The most important photo is the group titled "This is 1st squad" It is labeled on the back (not in order of the photo) My grandfather is in the middle row in the center for frame of reference.

 

The labeling is top to bottom starting at: Will, Pagoria, Bateman, Lawrence, Herzie, Savill, Toot, Guthrie, Schemehorn, Kollman, Santer

 

There is one with you boxing with someone unidentified

 

There is one with him with a man with the last name Gardecki all bundled for winter.

 

There is one with him planning at Gosselies Belgium

 

There is a group photo that is unlabeled

 

There is one at the POW camp, not sure if any of you had any serve there as well but thought I would attach it.

 

There is one with him in a picture with Captain Moran and Staff Sergeant Kosmari (I think that is how it is spelled on the back) and it is at Camp 20 Grand.

 

 

Ken,

 

Thanks so much for posting these images. Even if the images don't have relatives of most us they are sure another glimpse into the past and how these men survived their service away from their families in a foreign land. I look forward to many long and fruitful posts and to reading everything and anything that you have to say. You are such an asset to our little group.

 

Onward and upward, my friend!

 

Gary
