Interesting as my Father was also in the combat engineers in WWII.

I have never heard him mention serving with the Scots but he did say they were under Montgomery for a while. BTW, unlike everyone else, he really liked Montgomery.

109th Combat Engineers, 34th ID.

Dad's unit wound up being loaned to Monty to clear mines so the 79th could do graves reg. Dad was an EOD specialist.

I'm glad he was a careful one. He did have one unfortunate encounter with a "Bouncing Betty" but the second charge was a dud. While he and mom were on their 50th Anniversary Victory Tour, they went back to that beach (at Marino di Pisa on the west coast) and said a little prayer . . .

What unit was your dad with?
