I
was in the 406th Engr. Bn. from Sept 1953 until Feb. 1955, at which
time the 406th became the 79th Engr. Bn. We were stationed at Neureut
Kaserne. We were under the 39th Gp. I think that the 406th arrived
at Neureut in 1952 as all colored unit at which time it was slowly
integrated.
I rotated back to the States in Apr. 1955
