Comments: Hello my name is Pete age 49 former Marine. I am somewhat of a WW2 buff, I enjoy e-mailing and talking to Veterans who served in WWII whether on land, air, or sea. I usually like to find out what you did, what rank you had, length of service, and what battles you fought in. I then try to find this information that I can download from the internet or I offer to pay for a few picture that you can get copy, I also try to get at least one picture of yourself and ask if you would sign it for me. I also will send you a SASE if that will help you out. I e-mail veterans from all nations that fought in WW2. This is strictly a hobby, I do not sell or publish to make a profit on anyone’s name. This is my way of having my own library on WW2 veterans and my tribute to those men, because we lose so many WW2 veterans every day all this history goes with them. If this is ok with you please e-mail me back. I would appreciate it. You guys are the men that I look up to as heroes. Here’s something about me: I was born in San Francisco 1953. I have lived in California all of my life. I graduated from High School in 1972 and I joined the Marine Corps, stayed in for 5 years and became a sergeant. I was in the infantry O331 (M 60 machine gunner) or better known as a super grunt. After I got out, I went into the Army National Guard and was in the medical battalion for three years. After the service I went into the medical field in 1980. My first nine years were working the streets of East Los Angeles or better known as The Gun and Knife Club. I spent two years working in the trauma center in the emergency room. In 1989 my family and I moved out to the desert (Indio, near Palm Springs). From there I went to work for Eisenhower Medical Center also in the emergency room for the last 11 years. I spent five years as a volunteer fire fighter for the county of Riverside. Where I become a State Firefighter 1. My wife also works at Eisenhower for a private doctor. My wife and I have been married almost 23 years. I have a 17-year old daughter who is in her last year of High School and a 14- year old son who is in his first year of High School. As of April of this year after nearly 22 years of medical work. I quit and went back to school full time to earn a second degree but I am not sure what that degree will be. A few of my hobbies other than e-mailing and writing WW 2 veterans, I build model ships all from WW 2 period and nations. At last count I had at least 70 finished with at least 10 that I have not yet started. I have my own small library of military books mostly references. I also volunteer at the Palm Springs Air Museum, which is dedicated to all WW 2 veterans. I go there once or twice a week after school. Now you know a little bit about me.

Comments: Great website -- I enjoyed it immensly. One quick question, however - The Military Medal (awarded to Sgt Poisson) while a great valour award indeed; is not equivalent to the US Medal of Honor. This would be the Victoria Cross. The Military Medal is roughly equivalent to either the Silver or the Bronze Star in the US Medals and Decorations System.

Comments: I am English and live near Nettlebed. I am researching the American Army units that were based in the Henley, Nettlebed, Kingwood Common, Peppard, Badgemore and Checkendon areas in 1943 to 1945. I have a particular interest in the Station Hospitals at Kingwood Common and Checkendon. I am looking for any one with memories, photos, plans they would be prepared to share with me or any ideas for places to look. There is a small concrete 'Engineer Castle' still in the woods near Nettlebed. It was made by the 343rd Eng Batt and I am told it was one of two at the entrances to the camp. Hence your page on the Castle device as used by the Engineers was very interesting! Best wishes from Oxfordshire Tony

Comments: Searching for information on the Rhine and insights to help my father and gather information on post traumatic stress that might help school bus drivers and children. My father has just started sharing information regarding his military experience. Talking seems to help him. He reports his unit was "wiped out". He is 81 years old and served as a private with the US Army's 7th army. He was a part of the Seventieth (Trailblazers) division an old newspaper clipping he sent home reported the division was "made up largely of Minnesotans, and the 101st Cavalry group". Other known details: My father left the USA on 1/5/45 by boat. He arrived in France on 01/15/45. He left France on July 3, 1945. I'm very proud of my father and everyone who fought to help protect our freedom. Thank you!!

Comments: Just 2 months ago I was invited to speak at a convention of the 82 Engineer Combat Bn, l9th Corps, 9th Army asset during WWII about my remembrances of WWII as a 9 year old child living in the rest center town of Heerlen Holland. I heard a story from one of the bridge builders which I find quite hilarious. During the building of a very important bridge across the Albert Canal near Maastricht which was being observed by many Corps and Army officials the young 2nd Lt in charge wanted to be sure that nothing would go wrong so whenever a move was made he would lay his level to insure that everything was still the way it should be, much to the aggravation of the GI's. Then all of a sudden a section of the bridge fell into the canal and would't you know some smartaleck GI hollored out, much to the embarrassment of the young Lt "Hey Lt bring the level" Needless to say it brought grins to some faces. By the way the 82nd has its' own website. Thanks for your participation in my liberation. Peter Bardoul Atlanta, GA

I haven't been able to find any information. I do know that he was in North Africa, was there with the English Army before Patton got there...He was in Sicily, Italy, Germany, France etc...Supplying the front and Patton with fuel and ammunition...building bridges and roads... I've heard the stories my whole life, and am doing research and taping the stories my Dad tells so it won't be forgotten. My Dad is my hero, and I'd like to link him up with his past, those few years that so changed and molded his life. Bless everyone who has served our country and in doing so, blessed us... If anyone has any information that would be helpful, please email me. Thanks so much

My grandfather and great-uncle were with the British Army and often spoke of the bravery of the "Yanks". I am proud to be descended from both British and Americans who fought and died bravely to make keep our world free from tyranny. Growing up as a military brat outside of Bitburg AFB (now closed) I often played in old bunkers left by the allied forces. What an amazing irony - a place that was a fun playfort for me as a child, was at one time a frontline in a war. You veterans are amazing and I certainly don't think most people my age (30) do not realize what you accomplished in WWII. Well, I do and I thank you for it everyday and God Bless each and every one of you!

Comments: My name is Coporal Brian R Bailey.I am a soldier in the
101st airborne division (air assault) long range recon
(RANGER)detachment.Im also from massachusetts. It's amazing
to see what my grandfather and his comrades had to go threw
and endure in those trying times. I cant even fathom the
heartache and pain.It makes me proud to get up every
morning and lace my boots and help hold up the blanket of
freedom that the men of the 150th and there partner units
helped install.Im proud to be apart of this great army and
am filled with so much pride knowing that men like you
exsited to protect my country.Every morning in formation we
sound of with another units name from the wars to remind us
what we are doing and why we give up our freedom so others
can remain free. Usually its a grunt unit such an 7th
RANGERS or such but this morning we sounded off with 150TH!
Thank you for the gift of freedom i enjoy so much

Comments: I got a chill when I read the records of the 150th Engineers. It was almost a direct copy of my 1306
Engineers' record.

We were close from Utah Beach, across France, the Bulge, Germany, and Austria. We built bridges across the same
rivers, including the Rhine. Ours was also built near Oppenhein but was a Bailey bridge supported on the remains
of a burned-down wood pile bridge.

Our paths separated after VE Day when we were redeployed directly to the Philippines, and then to Japan after VJ Day.

I'm writing a historical novel of the 1306 Engineers and the Red Ball Road. I would like to contact anyone familiar
with our part in the War.

Thank you, 150th Engineers. You have a great website.

Comments: I did a search on 'Combat Engineers' I am doing a little research. I have met an old combat engineer vet here in
Waynesboro Pa who landed with the 29th Division on D-day and fought all the way to V-E day. Since I am a 21 year
Navy vet in our conversation he indicated that he had served. When he told me that his unit was attached to the
29th I asked him if he had landed at Omaha beach. He gave me a little bit of his trek across Europe. I was enjoying
the experience of talking to this man when he burst into tears. He really is totally incapable of detailing his
WWII experience. We have talked several times but anytime it gets close to his military service he chokes up. I am
trying to do a little research to understand what he might have gone through. All though he told me what unit he was
with I don't remember. So, I am snoopin around a little to see what I can come up with. You got a pretty good site and

Comments: My father, 78, served w/351st Combat Engineers, Company A-- it's is amazing to look through this and other sites to see
how many second and third generations are seeking and sharing information about these brave men and what they
sacrificed. My father did depart from Fort Devens (still lives in a nearby town) and spent three years overseas. As
children and grandchildren, we have heard so many stories about the Rhineland, Ardennes, Bulge, Luxemburg, Normandy,
etc. It's is wonderful to be able to share this information via the internet, as this was such a huge part of their
lives--the memories are still as real today as they were 45 years ago. To find someone who walked in the same shoes is
such a treasure! I recently attended an "Operation Recognition" ceremony, where my father and 25 other
military veterans received their high school graduation diplomas in a middle/high school gymnasium (grades 5-12 in
attendance.) The students listened to every word spoken-- they were in awe to hear that the men and women seated in
front of them had left high school to fight for their freedom, coming back too old at 21 and 22, as well as
shaken, to finish their education. He would love to hear from anyone in the 351st Combat Engineers. Kudos for such a great site and tribute!

Comments: I've just arrived at your site. It looks wonderful. Thank you for all of your efforts. I'm looking for mention of my father-in-law
Russell Baker then of Galesburg IL who came ashore on D_Day 2 and eventualy made it to Nuremburg by way of the Battle of
the Bulge. Mr. Baker now lives in Watsonville CA, and is still putting in full weeks as a charter bus driver. He amazes me now
and his past is riveting. I read Stephen Ambroses "Citizen Solider" and Mr. Baker started telling me the stories of his time in Europe.
I would love to find some kind of official record of his work there. Thanks for your time. Best to you.

Comments: On March 8th, 1945 I commanded Co. B 164th Eng. C Bn and crossed the Rhine River with one platoon on the
Ludendorff Railroad Bridge at Remagen. Our battalion mission was to protect the bridge(s) against water bore attack to
include torpedos and floating mines. A treadway bridge constructed by the 291st ECBN opened for tank traffic in the early
morning hours of Mar 10th and a heavy pntoon bridge constructed bu the 51st ECBN opened for east-bound class 40 traffic
early on 11 March. Until I visited your webb site I had been led to believe that the FIRST US ARMY engineers were first
to bridge the Rhine in WWII. YOUR SITE IS GREAT AND I PLAN TO VISIT OFTEN. THANKS!
