Looking for INFO 125th Combat Engineers of the 14th Armored Division

[Walt's Daughter]

Hi all

This information helps a lot I did not know what the bronze arrowhead denoted and now that you say that my father spoke a tiny bit about a beach landing but and forgive me I may be completely confused because I was very young I thought he had said something about normandy and paratroopers coming in with them. Thats the only thing I remember,again he could have been speaking of something he was not part of. I have a couple questions if anyone has an answer Is a report of seperation the same as discharge papers? When an honorable discharge says government conveniencewhat does that mean and finally I would love to post pictures is this the appropriate place to do that? Sorry for so many questions I am just very new to all of this

Kate:

 

According to this airborne PDF file I found, it shows the 125th Engineer Battalion. Notice it does not say Armored, but it would support your dad's story of being with and airborne division!

Here's another LATER reference to the 125th with the 14th:

What we need to find are references to your dad's early service. Pieces will fall together once you get his discharge papers.
