Claude's Story 
Hi, my grandfather was also in the 826th engineers battalion! Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for reading, Mariana! If you have any stories from your grandfather, I’d love to hear them!
He never spoke about any of it, unfortunately. But I recently came across his old photos, which are fascinating. Lots of the men of the 826th. I’m in the process of getting them up on Flickr… I’ll post the link when I’m done! Let here now (I’m in Italy), so must go to bed… I’ll get in touch again tomorrow! -M
Just found the website : http://www.ixengineercommand.com
Maybe it’s better if I post them there… I’ll send the photos to him today. -M
I found a lot of good information at that website. I’ll look forward to the pictures!
Hi, I’ve finally uploaded the photos!
Here’s the link:
I’m not done labeling them all yet, but I have to go out of town… so thought it would better to just get them up first.
If you have any insights on any of them, please comment!

I looked through them, but not in detail. They’re great, though! Hopefully more people will find the pictures and give more information about your grandfather!
