894th EAB, Greenham Common 1955-1957

Comments: We were out there on a hilltop, about 2 miles long and a half mile wide, setting grades with a dumpy level, in fair weather or foul, sometimes using our "three-quarter" as a windbreak (when it was available)! We set grade on concrete forms,shot evevations on layer after layer of asphalt, using "bird dots". Transit work was the most difficult because the constant wind blew the plumb bob off center. The weather could also change in a matter of seconds, often from warm sunshine to snow. I'd sure like to get in touch with some of the crew from those days so long ago.

1903rd & 811th EAB Message: 42991 - Daniel Powell wrote on 2004-05-12 12:59:54, landman7@hotmail.com Unit: Comments: I was assigned to Co. "C" 1903rd EAB from Jan to July 1954 at Suwon as just another construction hand. From there we transferred (as a unit) to Co "B" of the 811th EAB and went by boat to Itami, Japan for a few months, but eventually settled on the island of Hokkaido, Japan. The airbase was called Chitose, and a more cold and barren place never existed on this earth. I got smart, told the CO I could type and served as company clerk until my departure in Nov. 55. I must say, I'm somewhat amazed that there are still a few of us out there.

Names I remember: Ellery Okada, Harry Gannon, Amos Kawee, Sylvester Kubiak, Duane C. Frohwein, Robert Wohlfahrt. I believe the C.O. was Lt. Ralph M. Clack.

I'll bet half these names are wrong, but the old memory can fool you at times.

For those looking for the SCARWAF patch (universally worn by all) it's a white winged sword on a Red Shield. I saw several while serving in Vietnam, but I don't think the original is available anymore.

Beginnings of 811 EAB

Comments: Hello Fello Engineer Veterans,

I'm a USAF civil engineering officer and I learned about the 811 EAB just a few days ago. The 820rd RED HORSE alumni committee has great information on SCARWAF, but I'm particulary interested in the beginnings of the 811th, since I now know there were combat engineering unit in the China-Burma theatre that built the Ledo/Stillwell Road. I was also stationed at Kunsan AB a few years ago and wondered if the 811th had something to do with it's construction.

Anything you can provide would be helpful and appreciated ... Major Thomas Mitchell.

Bobby M. Hayes Pfc. Maurice Hoffman Airman Arnold Lessig from Grand Island Neb. and so many more I cant remember. The Army and Air Force got along just fine together. We were at Kimpo A.F.B. not the main base, we lived in squad tents, like MASH, but not as classy. We were also at Itami A.F.B. in Japan, and at Chitose A.F.B. in Japan. I cant forget my friend Gary D. Rhymes, we were stationed at the 796th A.C.& W. Squadron in Bartlesville, Okla. Much to quiet there so we volunteered for Korea. Anyone out there from the 811th especially from the comm. center, send me an "E" I would be glad to hear from you. God bless all and God bless America.
