292nd Engineer Combat Battalion (New Member)

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,

 

Always enjoy seeing pictures, as the old saying goes "are worth a thousand words", thanks so much for posting these. There are three names you have listed from the pictures that I have found in the Company A records that I have:

 

PFC Roy T. Kollman

PVT John F. Guthrie Westchester County, New York

PVT Floyd Savill Hancock County, Indiana

 

Here are three photos from my grandfather's collection at a POW camp. The first two are not labeled, in each my grandfather is on the right with an unidentified soldier on the left.

The last one is a photo of just him, I just discovered this morning it had writing on the back, awesome!

Apparently the 292nd not only built POW camps but helped in the guarding of the prisoners as well. My grandfather's letters to home make several references to guarding German prisoners. Have a good one everybody and keep those pictures coming!
