[Frank Gubbels]

Well,
I think this is the first time I will contribute something about engineers here.
I found some pictures which I want to share with you and I hope I can share more.

Domfront, France August 17th, 1944 U.S. Army Engineers clear streets after terrific shelling.


"Belgium 8/1/45--Engineers of the 30th Infantry Division remove booby trap from snow covered, abandoned German tank, which was knocked out beyond Geromont, Belgium. Germans painted white stars on tank to make it resemble American armor. Left to right: Cpl. Peter A. Piar, Philadelphia, PA; Lt. John D. Perkins, Alliance, Ohio; and Pfc. Calvin J. Dupre, Houma, LA"


Engineers filling bomb crater at Bettenhoven, Germany. Feb. 45.


I hope you can read this:
Flow chart of the make-up of the 105th Engineer Battalion.
