722nd Railway Operating Battalion wooden shoes

 

 Gloria writes... I have a question, these wooden shoes (pictured below) were bought at a yard sale in Red Bluff, California. 

A teenage girl selling them said they were found in her grandfather’s house when they were cleaning it out. 

 Would the ROB stand for a railroad battalion? And would Co. B have been in Germany in 1945? 

We have had no idea what the writing stands for. 

Thank you for your assistance.

Answer: Maybe a gift sent home from Holland by the soldier ? Company B was in charge of the rolling stock. 

Unfortunately she did not get the soldiers name .
