Dear Martijn and 17th-engineers.nl, on behalf of Baker Company, a Danish ww2 reenactment group, I would like to thank you for this website. Baker Company is an entirely private enterprise which aims to preserve, restore and present US military vehicles from ww2. We focus on the 2nd Armored Division, and we initially aimed to put together a collection of vehicles to present elements of the 82nd Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. However, as our collection developed over the years, we reached the conclusion that we were actually much closer to being able to represent (parts of) the 17th Armored Engineer Battalion - and then we discovered your website, which has been a treasure trove of information, and is still extremely helpful in guiding us through this change og course we have embarked on. We gain much from simply browsing through your pages, and we have given you honorary mention om our own webpage. It is amazing to find other enthusiasts with the same focus, who have done much of the necessary research, and who provide inspiration through such a level of dedication and insight. We have no ambition to attempt to equal what you have set up om your webpage, rather we will focus our efforts on that which is at the core of our work: The vehicles employed by the engineers. We already have a diverse collection, from the generic jeep to the rather more unique Ward LaFrance and even a very rare example of the D7 caterpillar tractor, and with lots of other vehicles and materiel in between. We hope, we might be able to join forces one day, and that we might be able to provide something through our efforts that you might also find helpful and interesting. Again, thank you for this website, and for sharing an interest in the 17th Engineers. Regards, Tomas Kepler, Baker Company (www.bakercompany.dk).
