    Reporting for Duty.
    My name is Marilyn Fraley Kropp and I live in Arizona. My dad William Fraley from Michigan served with the 1636th Engineer Construction Battalion from 1943 - 1946. He was sent to the New York Trade School to learn to be an electrician. He was at Camp Abbot in Oregon, Camp Lewis in Washington, landed at Le Harve, France, served in Germany, The Philippines and Japan. He returned Stateside in April 1946. I am interested in finding more about his unit, I think he was in Company C. I am also interested in any pictures of the 1636th and the places the served. I am currently putting together a small book for him. He is now 94 and has lived with me in Arizona for 10 years. He is still very active and sharp as a tack. I came upon this website after a google search for the 1636th. I worked at J-1, US EUCOM as a DAC while my husband was with the 66th Military Intelligence Group in Stuttgart back in the 70’s.
    How do I replace the flower image with the pic of Dad?
    Thank you. That is all.

    Welcome. To change your avatar, go to your profile page and click on your flower. Choose a custom avatar and put your picture in. I think that's correct. If not, let me know.

    Check with your library for an inter-library loan. Obviously, you can't keep it but you can at least peruse it

    If there's a copy in the National Archives you can ask for a quote on copying costs.

    Does anyone have any info on the New York Trade School? Dad was sent there in 1943/4 to learn to be an electrician.
