Welcome to the forum, I think we can help you in your search but we will need to uncover some more information about your father. Do you have his discharge papers? Did he enlistist in Illinios? Chicago?
As your searching through the boxes, look for anything with numbers on it, letters or envelopes with an army address or his serial number. His serial number will help in obtaining his service record.
There were many engineer units involved in the crossing at the Remagan bridge, most of them were units of the 1110th Combat Engineer Group, but probably other units too.
The first engineers at the bridge were 1 platoon from company B, 9th armoured engineer bn of the 9th Armored Div.
Let us know what you find.
