312th Engineer Combat Battalion, 87th Infantry Division

[militaria7]

Good Morning,

 

I am writing a Find-A-Grave bio on PFC Thomas S. Durham, Sn# 38357551, who was KIA in January 1945. He was serving with the 312th Engineer Comabt Bn when he was killed. I understand there was a book on the unit published in 1946 to include a little bio on it's KIA's. Can someone tell me what it may have said about htis man? I especially need to know where he was killed (and circumstances if known), date of birth and place of birth (home of record was Franklin County, Ark). And of course, a photo or two would be nice but I am not holding my breath. Any other info would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!
