From Mary Benz. Sorry I didn't get this up for the anniversary. Was one day late in seeing and posting this for you and everyone else. Here ya go...
James PLEASE email Marion the History of the 207thh Combat Engineers today. Thank you. Big brother.
Marion If at all possible can you please post this June 19th. Why because many of the 207th and 300th and Navy personell were on the LST 523 and were injured or killed 6-19-44. 1/2 miles from the beach in Normandy. The LST hit a mine and was split in two pieces. Our uncle Master Sgt. Edward J. Sullivan was killed instantly.
The 300th website has a history of the LST-523 and our uncle's records are also posted on that site. Look it up and read what happened. The 207th does not have a webiste.
In their honor I thought it would be nice if the history of the 207th was posted this day June19th. Please email me when the history is posted. Thank you.
Thank you for their memorial & I am sure other family members of the 207th will appreciate this also.
