Excerpt: 

Below are Newspaper articles, pictures, stories, commendations, or anything related to the Rivers the 150th Bridged to cross.

From the shores of Maine to "Frisco"--
Fighting Engineers are we!
We build our Countries bridges,
To make way for victory.
First to Fight for Rights and freedom,
and to keep the pathways clear,
we are proud to claim the title of
"Combat Engineers"

Where-ever we are needed
to build or repair,
you can bet that you will always find
The "150th" there.

Annotation: 

This page is part of a tome of photographs, technical descriptions, and stories about the World War II escapades of the 150th Combat Engineer Battalion. Each bridge that the group constructed during the war has its own section, along with numerous images of the structures. Though some photos are on loan or have been taken in recent years, the vast majority come from the site founder's father, who served as the battalion's electrician, scout, and photographer until the war's end. In response to requests for information on lost family members, the webmaster has also posted links to and information about resources for military families, as well as logistical information about 150th battalion reunions.
