What is information on the 993rd Treadway Bridge Company?

Answer 1

Here is information submitted: * My father was based in Wellesbourne, Warwickshire at the beginning of 1944. My father is coloured - was the 993rd a coloured unit? * My grandfather, Robert "Bob" Stillwagon was the 1st Sgt of the 993rd Treadway Bridge Company. He passed away in 1983. I know he participated in the Normandy Invasion and Battle of the Bulge. He was injuried in a jeep accident and returned to the States. I do know he went to reunions several times. He joined the army at Ft. Riley and was in the 9th Engineers (horse mounted) before moving to the Treadway Bridge Company. * My father, Marvin Achterhoff, does remember Bob Stillwagon very well! They served together through-out the war, including at Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge. In fact, I remember going to an Army reunion with my parents when I was a child in the 1960's down in Missouri, and meeting your Grandfather. * My father, Walter M. Plummer, was a corporal in the 993rd Treadway Bridge Company. He, and my mother, are still alive and live in the house they purchased after the war. He participated in the Normandy Invasion and the Battle of the Bulge also. I have a list of all the members of the 993rd Treadway Company. According to this, Herschel McCloud was from Hamden, Missouri and Philip Hendricks was from Springfield, Missouri, Charles Easley was from Baxter Springs, Kansas and Howard K. Gillson was from Brainerd, Minnesota.
