Information on the US 112 Combat Engineer Battalion in the Battle of the Bulge

Hello,

I have seen the US 112 Combat Engineer Battalion listed (Danny S Parker-Battle of the Bulge, Trevor N Dupuy HItlers Last Gamble) as part of V Corps in the Battle of the Bulge, and it was with V Corps on December 16. Unlike some of the other combat engineer units under V Corps I cannot seem to find any information on this unit, perhaps it was to the north of the major actions? Would anyone know where this unit may have been located and its activities in December 1944?

Thanks

Marty

Marty,

The 112th Engineer Combat Battalion was part of the 1121st Engineer Group during the Bulge. It didn't look to be committed heavily. The only reference to 112th I combat is the following:

Staunton is little direct help with the 112ths history. The Campaign Codes indicate nothing more than the web site

Hello Carl,

Yes, I found quite a bit on the other Engineer units of V Corps, and after doing a further search the only website I have found was that given to me by Dunnigan.

Thank you both for the information!

Best Regards

Marty
