WWI 13th Engineers

[JAE]

Hey you history/engineering buffs out there!

I'm looking for information on the 13th Engineers (US) who participated in WWI in France - circa 1917-1918. My grandfather rode the supply trains and I'm trying to get some history on their experiences as well as photos.

Anyone have any data/websites/etc.????

Just the other day I was in the local library and found a very interesting text on the Corps of Engineers. The book was a rather large volumne and dealt with the two theaters of operation. I am not sure whether it went back to WWI or not. Since I seen your post I have been looking for such books.

I did find a History of the US Army Corps of Engineers which was published in 1998. I would like to think that more valuable references are listed in that text.

Will keep looking.
