Searching for men and families of the 1392nd Engineer Forestry Company and 1321st Engineer General Service Regiment in World War II To award the European–African–Middle Eastern Campaign Medal and Army of Occupation Medal.  After a lot of research, I was able to prove that my dad, Harry Newton,  who was with the 1392nd Forestry Engineers, was entitled to these medals.
