1120th Eng Gr

I'm looking for any information on the 1120th Engineers.
My dad was with them in Europe at the end of the war.

A Google search gave me a link to a dead website.

Thanks,
KJ

 

Hi Kevin,

Do you have any further details about the unit ie what Division etc?

Regards
Andy

 

Sorry to say I don't have any more information.
