My father served with the 540th Engineer Combat Regiment, H&S Co in the motor pool. He took part in the Italian Campaign Naples/Salerno/Anzio and was injured by a mortar shell during the breakout to Rome on May 24, 1944. He returned to service and took part in the invasion of Southern France and fought through the Rhone Valley, the Alsace/Ardennes Campaign, crossed the Rhine into Germany, and remained in occupied Germany until November 1945. I created a website in his honor-www.6thcorpscombatengineers.com
