Arriving in Europe, March 11

In March of 1945, Company A of the 15th Engineering battalion was attached to the 9th Infantry Division that was assigned to the 3rd Army at the time. At the time of the crossing of the Ludendroff Bridge the 15 Engineering battalion had been shifted to the First Army. The First was responsible for snuffing out resistance in Bonn; later that month they crossed the Ludendroff Bridge and established the Remagen Bridgehead . Later the 9th Infantry was reassigned back to the 3rd Army.
