    1. Re: 150th ALabama Guard Unit Company F Rhine Bridge.
    2. Dear Le, I happen to have in front of me a picture that names the Engineer Groups that constructed the Railroad Bridge accross the Rhine at Mainz. It is a picture taken at the dedication of the Bridge which was completed in 9 1/2 days, bridg e length- overall 4,502 ft, span 2.221 ft. This is the bridge that got our troops to badly need oil and supplies. The picture belongs to my father who mobilized with Co. E, 106th Engineers, 31st Dixie Division,of Apalachicola, Florida. Soon after he was sent to Officers Candidate School and ended up withe the 389 Eng. Gs Regt. I am afraid it is not proper to insert the picture into a maillist document. There are two signs on the bridge, one gives statistics, the second gives CONSTRUCTED BY ADV. SEC. ENGINEER GROUP "B" 347 Eng. G.S. Regt. | 417 Eng. D.T. Co. 389 Eng. G.S, Regt. | 3063 Eng. D.T. Co. 333 Eng. Spc. Ser. Rgt. | 3088 Eng. Wld. Det. 1057 Eng. PC.R. Grp. | 975 Eng. Main Co. 329 H. C. Co. | 1995 Labor Supv. Co. . Incidently, I am searching for KEITH, DIXON HEWLETT/HUELLET BOUTWELL, LOPER, PIPPIN, and JAMES, families in central and southern Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Frances
