Veterans of the 17th Armored Engineer Battalion

We have been in contact with 17th Engineer veterans in the past but unfortunatly many of them passed away. Nowadays we have contact with the relatives of several veterans. The information we haven and the story they have told are published on their own page under the menu “Remembrance“. 

The Roll of Honor on this website is to Honor the Fallen 17th Engineers during World War Two.
That makes the veterans who survived the war not any less then their comrades who had Fallen, so we have made an “Veteran of the 17th Armored Engineer Battalion” page.  

If you are a relative or know a person who has more information of 17th Armored Engineer Battalion veterans of their family, please contact us. 
We can help you to get more info about the the familymember who served with the 17th Engineers during WW2.
More and more information is being send to us and we have a large archive that is not totally published on this website.
The info we have we like to share with anybody interested and are allways open for anything that relates to the 17th Armored Engineer Battalion.
