332nd Engineer General Service Regiment

The 332nd Engineer General Service Regiment was a group in the United States Army that served during World War II. This unit became active on January 5th, 1943, directed to provide engineering assistance to the Allied forces in the European Theater of Operations. The regiment consisted of soldiers who received training in various engineering skills, including construction, road building, and mine clearance.

Throughout World War II, the Regiment played a role in significant battles. They were involved in events such as the Normandy invasion and the Liberation of Paris. Additionally, they contributed to the construction of the Mulberry harbours, which played a part in the invasion of Normandy.

Discrimination and segregation were experienced by its soldiers during and after the war. It wasn't until the 1990s that their accomplishments achieved full recognition and acknowledgement.
