Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Original wartime yearbook of the 5th Training Battalion, Engineer Replacement Training Center (ERTC), Fort Belvoir, Virginia, published in 1942 during the first full year of American participation in World War II. Many KIA, wounded, purple hearrs, silver stars, etc. An incredible period roster of men sent to combat. This illustrated hardcover preserves the names and photographs of approximately 955 U.S. Army officers and enlisted men undergoing engineer training before assignment to Army units throughout the European and Pacific Theaters. The Engineer Replacement Training Center was responsible for preparing soldiers in bridge construction, combat demolitions, mine warfare, field fortifications, road construction, camouflage, water supply, heavy equipment operation, and other engineering skills essential to front-line combat operations. Thousands of graduates from Fort Belvoir later served in engineer combat battalions, armored engineer battalions, aviation engineer units, ponton bridge companies, and other organizations supporting Allied offensives across Europe and the Pacific.Research conducted on the roster has identified several historically significant officers and combat engineers, including Lieutenant Colonel David A. Newcomer, who was killed after capture during Operation Dragoon and received the Silver Star and Purple Heart; Colonel F. Russell Lyons, a decorated engineer officer associated with III Corps engineering operations near the Remagen bridgehead; Colonel Edward H. Coe of the 341st Engineer Regiment; Colonel George W. Gillette; Colonel Aubrey H. Bond; Major George W. Hannaman, Bronze Star recipient of the 308th Engineer Combat Battalion; Captain Archibald E. Sutton of the 505th Engineer Light Ponton Company; and Captain Rinard T. Largent, whose documented combat service included the Battle of the Bulge, Ruhr Campaign, and the Rhine crossing at Remagen. Ongoing roster research continues to identify additional veterans with combat service, decorations, and notable postwar careers. Far more than a routine military yearbook, this volume is an important primary-source roster documenting the men who formed part of the wartime expansion of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is an outstanding research resource for military historians, genealogists, unit historians, medal collectors, veterans' families, and collectors of original WWII engineer material. No writing or marks.
