Tomorrow is the 60th anniversary of the taking of the Remagen Bridge over
the Rhine
by US forces.

The US Combat Engineers immediately undertook making a Treadway Bridge just
north
of the bridge. One of the lead groups in that effort was the 291 Combat
Engineers. They
were also one of the groups that stayed behind at the Battle of the Bulge to
blow up bridges.

In their honor, I have marked my HMVs (all that would have been used by
them) as belonging
to the 291st
