To this end, a complete listing of the membership of the 283rd as it existed in May of 1945 while still stationed in Germany is given below. Only hometowns are available here, but an inquiry to the Secretary of the 283rd Engineer Association can provide a pre-war address and possibly post-war addresses if that member was ever in contact with the Association. Let us help you find information about your parent or grandparent if he was a member of the 283rd. Use the Contact Us option at the left to initiate a query.
There are approximately 700 names on the roster, listed alphabetically. Refer to the chart at the bottom of the table for the key to the individual soldier's company/platoon assignment, and be patient, the list is a bit slow to load!
