I was assigned to A Company, 29th Sig Bn in October 1953 and stayed until Aug. 1956 when I rotated.
Later, I served with D Company, 26th Sig Bn from November 1961 until April 1964, first as Cable Plt Sgt until
December 1963, when it was deactivated, and then I was transferred to C Company as a Plt Sgt and acting 1st Sgt. I left in April 1964 to go to OCS where I graduated in October 1964.

I served with Company B of the 29th Signal Bn from April 1955 through July 1957. Company B was on TDY in Southwest France, St. Jean D'Angely, and was responsible for telephone cable construction on the military bases in France. My mission with the company was that of a telephone cable splicer.
I was on a team of 5 or 6 splicers and about the same number of support personnel. We worked most of then U.S. Bases in the region. If memory serves me correctly, all U.S.Military came to an end in 1958. I have spent a good amount of time searching for information regarding the 29th Signal Battalion and am happy to find this site. Would be happy to share any other information if needed. Contact me any time |

Co. C's last major project, while I was there, was the underground communication ring around the ammunition depot near Fischbach Germany. My wife, who followed me to Germany, and I lived off post at 21 Bernhard Strasse in Karlsruhe. Our first son was born at the Military hospital in Heidelberg.
