Hello - 608th Engineer Light Equipment Co

[Walt's Daughter]

Clementine:

 

I can share your enthusiasm. Oh yes!

 

Well I'm glad you stumbled upon my article, and certainly delighted it helped to clear up a lot of the confusion surrounding your father's service with an engineering company.

 

This is certainly why your father couldn't remember what division he was in, because he never was! These engineer units simply went where they were needed, and oft times attached to regiments/divisions for a short period of time. So yes, his unit was a "bastard" unit.

 

I'm here to assist you and your father, and now after all this time, you can finally start to put those puzzle pieces together.

 

A big hello to your father, from a very proud daughter. Engineer's rock!
