I have returned to read and study this website over and over again. It is so hard to find information about the 17th Armored Engineers during World War II. My father-in-law, Clyde C. Loyd, was a member of this group, but he died before I married his son. I am working hard to gather information to share with his grandchildren. Of course the fire at the National Archives has not helped nor has the pandemic this past year. I need to find out which company he was assigned to and when. I do know he changed companies with the death of a Lt in a different company. I know he was in ROTC at LSU when Pearl Harbor was bombed. He was not allowed to finish that semester. Teachers had to give grades based upon the work up to that point. He would return to LSU after the war to complete his senior year. Then he remained in the Army Reserves rising to the rank of Lt. Col.
