A bit of 254th/107th Engineer Bn WW II history

A couple of years back, Peter Clouse and his son Zachary, contacted me through our website.  They were doing research about Peter's uncle, Jimmy Scalzo's actions during an ambush in WW II where Jimmy earned a Bronze Star.  Jimmy was a member of the 254th Combat Engineer Battalion(don't know which company).  Peter and Zach wanted to know if the Association had any historical archives.  I informed them that we did but they were not cataloged or organized in any way.  There are five wall lockers stuffed with paperwork and artifacts from many years of collecting.  Peter and Zach flew to Ishpeming and spent four days combing through the archives.  They hit a gold mine of information about the ambush!


As you watch the news segment on Facebook below, you will see a hand drawn sketch and some handwritten notes detailing the ambush.  Peter and Zach were pumped up to find first hand information about the ambush.  My assumption is that the sketch and notes were either drawn at one of our past annual reunions or were mailed to Ed Vickstrom years ago.  Ed was  a WW II veteran and the long time secretary (39 years) of the Association.  The sketch, etc was found in the box of papers that Ed gave me before he died. 


(Update!)

The news segment was nominated and WON a New York News Emmy award.  Congratulations Peter and Zach!
