WOW! I am a virtual rookie at this stuff. I have not contacted the "CORPS" but will do that. I got motivated and dug through my dad's foot locker (there is WWII, Korea and Viet Nam stuff in it) and found Volumn 3 of the Engineer History, an invasion arm band flag, 1st Army, 7th Army and what appear to be locally made (in theater) 5th Army patches. There is also a Bill Mauldin book with an intro by Ernie Pyle called Mud Mules and Mountains, Cartoons of the A.E.F. in Italy. I think this is a great forum and wish I had found it long ago. Keep up the good work. I am glad you have the books because I was trying to type some stuff to answer some questions and it took me half the night. Typing not a skill.
