From Bruce Brill....According to my dad's separation papers, his job tiltle was "boiler maker." I have a knife he made (probably in "the shop") out of a propeller from a downed airplane. Two photos of it, attached, fyi. Notice the handle: some kind of plastic, which, I'm thinking, must've been "state of the art" back in '45!

If you have any materials connected to these great Army Railway units please share them here with the families of the soldiers. If you are a collector or memorabilia dealer PLEASE share copies or scans of items BEFORE you sell these priceless materials to private collectors . I will hold the copies until after they sell. It means so much to the families of the guy's that actually served in these units.
