Thanks much. I'll have a look. I have a researcher that's going to check for morning reports next time she's back in the St. Louis archives.
Sorry, actually I meant the 1367th EPD. Guess I'm getting old. He was in two other Engineer units after that. He was in the 2905th Engineer Depot...
Thanks. Looks interesting. I just ordered it.

My Dad was in the 2nd AD. He said that later in the war, a German jet would come over every morning like clockwork, evidently taking pictures. He...

Not a problem. You have helped me a lot. I don't have a lot of time to spend on this right now and I get things mixed up from time to time. I am...
Any references I made to the 132nd NJ Guard Infantry should have been the 113th. Sorry about that.
He was. The insignia is on his uniform in his marriage photo from 1943. He worked in the motor pool, drove truck, did dispatching, drove for a...
I meant the 113th, sorry. Don't know where my brain came up with the 132nd. Thanks for the additional good info.
So, do you think that the fact that the PUC has it's own little section in the case with the Purple Heart means that they were awarded together...
