to an Artillery site in Gia Ray, while passing
through a rubber plantation...I can still hear
that bullet passing by my right ear...Now living

Viewing
your website for the 36th Engr Bn at Vung
Tau(wasn't this a in-country RR location?), I was
with the 46th Engr Bn, 20th Engr Bdge in Xuan Loc
just north of Vung Tau. Had I known there was an
engineering unit in Vung Tau I would have asked
for a transfer(LOL), right! I like the cut-off
pants in the pictures, it surely wasn't any
hotter in Vung Tau was it? Just wanted to say
hello and say I am glad you guys made it back and
a job will done! |

I have
just found your website and congrats on a good
website. I have an uncle, now deceased, who was a
member of the 36th Engineers during WWII, as it
was then organized as a regiment. He made
landings with the unit at Salerno and Anzio. He
was seriously wounded by shell fragments of a
German 88mm, while in Anzio. His name was,
William Hardy "Bill" Pierce. I ask that
you keep up your excellent work. Thanks,
Allen |
