I was just on your website and saw your article about the 9th Engineer Bn history. I was in the 9th Engr Bn from April 1965 until about May-June, 1966. Harold D. Morgan was my second company commander and was my best man at my wedding in 1966. The picture he sent was the bridge I remember helping to build. I was a 2nd Lt and platoon commander of the 1st & 3rd platoons of A Company, 9th Eng Bn. Later, after my wedding in 1966, I was assigned to our sister battalion, the 82nd Engr Bn, in Bamberg, Germany, and was there from 1966 till 1967. I was the S-4 Supply Officer and special assistant to the CO. Co A (9th Engr Bn) built two bridges over the Rhine: the first in 1965 and second in 1966. One was at Speyer, and the other near Heidelberg, Germany. We also built bailey bridges and timber trestle bridges as part of our training, like all Engr Bn's. My wife was from Brand bei Marktredwitz, north of Grafenwoehr. Brand was a base for a 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, which patrolled the Border between West Germany, East Germany, and Checloslavakia. My first platoon command was to renovate the roads leading up to the camp and making a helicopter landing pad. We also did some other work inside of the old camp. The camp is now used by the town of Brand/Marktredwitz. Co A was assigned to the Main River bridges from Aschaffenburg to Wurzburg, and the canal locks, and all of the roads around. Co A used to build a lot of soccer fields in the Aschaffenburg area. Every year we would go to Grafenwoehr for a month of construction projects, like tank firing pads. Also, once a year we went to Hohenfelds for combat training, and live firing. There we had our live explosives training and orientation and familiarization with the Army's latest weapons. We also had special maneuvers with the Bundeswehr and the other Combat outfits of 7th Corps, Seventh Army Europe. I have seen where the 7th Corps was assigned to the Gulf War in 1980-81, and my outfit, the 9th and 82nd were probably involved. Robert Farmer
