DICK RANDALL wrote on October 13, 2010 City and State: Unit: 573RD PONTON BR CO Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: Served as officer in two units of the 338th Gp: 573rd and Co B of the 148th Bn during 1955 -56 supporting the 11th and 101st Div at Ft Campbell, Ky. Have some pics of bridge operations and 1955 year book of the 338th Group. The 55th Bridge Co was also in this group then. The 338th Gp became the 937th Engr Gp Combat, in about mid 1956, and the 11th Div became the 101st Airborne Div. The OD uniform and Ike jacket went out and the Army green uniform and black shoes came in. We built landing strips, roads, docks, drop zones for airborne operations, and used our bridge boats for flood rescue on the Cumberland River and drown victims on Kentucky Lake.

MARK RIMMER wrote on April 8, 2009 City and State: PARCOUL Unit: Service or Relationship: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: Hi, I am restoring a 1945 GMC CCKW 353 Ponton truck with its sliding pole trailer and aluminium pontoon boat and would like to know what the "extra" bits, ie non standard on CCKW cargo trucks, were used for. Was it possible to load the pontoon using just the Jimmy, or was a crane always required? Any photos or info of these trucks in use would be of great interest to me! Many thanks, Mark Rimmer Keywords: GMC CCKW

It is important to an appeal for PTSD that is pending for me in the Appeals management center, Washington. This claim has been going on since 1994. They can find no record of the crash. No surprise. If someone witnessed it I need your help to verify that it happened. Please respond to: (caws617522@earthlink.net) or (caws61@myembarq.com). I need your help.

My mother is one of his 7 daughters, 4 of which moved to Australia in 1959, + one adopted. The rest live in Oregon and California USA, my mother is desperate to know of her father, as she didn't get a chance on growing up. Her and her sisters thought he'd died in the war, but he lived with his new wife and daughters in Grants Pass Oregon, adopting one of the 3 girls out. He has now passed on, so any further information would be appreciated. Thank you.
