I just wanted to say how much I appreciate these posts about the 292nd Combat Engineer Battalion. From the beginning this is very interesting and enjoyable for me. The photographs of Arthur Clark and the soldier whose name is not known are amazing. The light in the photographs is different but that could just be due to how the prints aged, but the shadows, especially the chimney on the roof, makes me think that these men could have taken each others photograph. These got my attention because I have a couple of photographs of men from the 160 ECB posed with a Thompson, quite the machine in those days. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words Glen. Your thread on the 160th ECB is most impressive, your father's personal recollections are fascinating reading. Keep up the good work my friend! I thought you made a great observation about the shadows in the photos I had posted, that was something I hadn't noticed, thanks for pointing that out. There was a second shot of my grandfather in this same location that I have posted above. Wished the location would have been written on the back, would have been nice to know. Have a good one,
