Where were vou on 30 Nov, L943? 






On that date General Order No. I?4i Headquarters, &lh 
Service Command authorized the activation of our unit. Acting 
under Uidl autotily. U. Col. Doyle Gresham, our Commanding 
GUicer, activated the unit at Fort Sam Houston. Texas, on 21 
December, 194 It and we thus became a part or the Military 
RatlwSy Service and th^ Army Transportation Coips. The 
initial strength was 'il commissioned ollicers and 71 enlisted 
men, the latter having been sent as a cadre Irom the 74olli 
Railway Operating Battalion. The first headquarters was 
established in builrlim) T-1282 located near the intersection of 
Garden Avenue am! W. VV, White Road, and Imnted on 
Garden Avciitiu (more picturesque in lumie than iu reality^ 
However, what this location lacked in scenic beauty was 
moje than compensated lor in the proxi'ttity of the life living 
jcslatiran* located diagonally across the street. All ul the 
■'Old timers" recall tha Chapel of Ihe Rock just a few more 

steps down the road. During our stay in Foil Sam Houston 
personnel wore btlletled hi barracks located north ol \V. W. 
White Road, east of Forage and south ol Hardee Road, These 
were large, two-story, frame st rue In res of the type well known 
to every GI who passed through a Irainina center in the 

States, 

On :"i January 1944 the first shipment ol enlisted personnel 
arrived and were assigned In the various Companies and bet- 
ween Ilia date ol activation an<l 21 January 1944, a total of 
884 enlisted men were assigned to the unit. 98% of thes<3 
reinforcements caaie into thfc Army via the "Selective Service" 
route, the other 2% being regular army or volunteers* Thus, 
we begin the trip to Berlin as "citizen-soldiers".

BASIC TRAINING 

Our eight weeks program of basic military I raiding ItAMftd 
on 17 January 1944. To a majority of the men, mO|0) row 
recruits only recently dispatched from reception cenhuH, Mw 
first day or basic training WBS a strange and buwtlih'Hmi 
experience. However, during Ihe initial stages of basic training 
the routine schedules* which is Hie army lite, soon narrow ■ 
Hie "experience" down to one of bewilderment only. 

The early history of Ihe 723d is conspicuously lacking in 
aiiocdules and unusual stories concerning Ihe officers and 
EM. This can be attributed primarily to the fact thai Hie 
basic training program was Insistently emphasized during the 
first Jew months of the unit's existence. 

Aside Iram the usual classes, drill and technical films* 
among Ihe more memorabLe activities were Ihe several 
nighl marches lhal were made by Utc Battalion lo provide 
preliminary experience in field movements as well as an 
opportunity lo develop physical stamina among the men. 
Of course the maiches were not complete unlil a lull count 
of blisters was made upon return. 

The llrsl long march occurred when the move was made 
to camp Bui lis Tor Ihe purpose of qualifying in arms. The 
march took from 0801) on February 13, 1944, to about 1600 
Ihe same date, a distance of approximately 20 miles. The 
most eventful aspect being the adverse weather conditions 
under which the movement took place. Intermittent rain 
and an overcast sky provided Utile comfort and when 
fatigue began to be felt by the men near the end ot Hie 
match, these factors served to emphnslzu Uieir discomfort. 
Nor was there much respile when the Battalion strode 
into Camp ihillis dispersing by companies into the tent 
areas assigned lo each of the unit's four companies, for 
the lush comforts of Fort Sam were conspicuously 
lacking.

HOME ON THE RVNGE 

Camp Onllis will be remembered Tor its rocky company 
streets; lb* rugged nicsd halls; and inconveniently located 
latrines* 

The main purpose of this period was lor ul) men to 
gualify a s marksmen wilh the 30 caliber 1903 A-3 rille. 
This was accomplished according lo schedule with the 
highest score Of 188 'or CM and 178 for officers. Also tU« 
Irainhiq at Camp Rtillis included tiring the 30 caliber Mlbide 
lor ftmiiliaririliuu, 3D and 50 caliber machine guusby pari 
of lho unit, anti-aircraft finny, and last Inil rial least Ihe 
the inlilt ration course whoto all members received Iheir 
baptism ol lire. Machine g*in bullets whined overhead 
and Iracors could be seen (lashing through the air alonq 
with detonations ol dynamite throwing showers of mud 
skyward as visible reminders that the exercise was ltd 
pantomime. 

By the 27th ol February 1944, the Battalion had completed 
its program at Camp Bullis and on the same day left tol 
a predetermined bivouac area approximately six utiles 
uorthuust ol Uie Camp. 

Along with learning more ol the ways and means of 
soldiers in the lielci tivi BaUaliou enacted offensive! military 
action against Hiannlown. a rccoiislntclion ol a war lorn 
village such as might be enc-ouutcrcd in actual operations 
overseas. 

To the satisfaction ol inspectors Jiom Forel Sam Houston, 
our Commanding officer and company ofMcers. our Basic 
Training period was announced "finis"- The Uttll ihen 
returned to Camp UijIIis U> pic-pare for Hie m^rch buck to 
Tort Sum. On the 9\h of M<m:h, Companies A, B and H>i 
shouldered field packs and waved a fond adieu to Camp 
Bullis and lo C Company which remained behind for two 
days awaiting lavurdble weather conditions which would 
permit the completion ol anti-aircraft tiring with Ihe 50 
caliber machine gun* 

Oy [he 1Mb ol March 11)44. the entire Battalion was 
assembled at Fort Sam Houston and the unit boarded trains 
on the I3lh bound lor Lined* Army Air Field, where mess 
and guarteis were established dnring the Technical training 
period on the Chicago, Burlington and Qulncy Railroad. 



TECHiNLCALTHAIMM. 

The 723d Railway Operating Battalion arrived hi Lincoln, 
Nebraska on March 15, 1944, establishing HeadqilHrUrt til 
1200 hours on thai date. Within tho first Ihlflfl (lay* after 
arrival, furloughs were granted to all enlisted personnel 
and officers clgihle. A few men had been released for 
furloughs before the unit loft Texas but this group was In 
tht* minority and It was not until the organization arrived 
In Lincoln that the majority of tho Battalion personnel set 
off for home to enjoy the long awaited break in Hip 
monotonous routine of army life. 

On the 3rd of April 1944, the Technical Trdinlnq schedule 
was set in motion and cacti ol the four companies set aboul 
to learn tho specialized skills necessary in railroad opera- 
tion. Some of the men were beginners and their concen- 
tration was bent on acquiring the rudiments of hilherto 
unknown trades or specialties. To others who Had riviiian 
;ailroad experience, the training program was an interim 
in which previously acquired skills were entranced and 
perfected under Intensive injunction and practice. Thus the 
soundhouse, the cupola, the imgine, tht? open track— where 
the maintenance of way crews worked, the barracks wheiein 
ieleyraphy was laugh* and the stations that dotted the rait 
lines emanating from the Lincoln Terminal became class- 
rooms where practical experience, civilian raihaaders, and 
Ihe officers of tim Battalion were the teachers in getting Hie 
Unit coordinated into a working machine to handle fill 
duties pertaining fo Operating and maintaining anywhere 
from 60 to i:?fl milos of lailroad track and equipment, 

The training period at Lincoln was not entirely technical, 
however, lor a program was set up whereby all men were 
given rtdresher Courses In basic military subjects, such as: 
Held striping 50 caliber machine guns, close order drill, 
calisthenics. Chemical warfare and other training that helped 
make a more efficient unit lor protecting as well as operating 
a railroad, 



On May 4, after airangemeiils were made to Iced the 
Battalion at the station compliment mess of Lincoln Army 
Air Pleld, the cooks were placed on detached service at 
Port Riley, Kansas to attend !he Cooks and Bakers School. 

Under a hot. summer, Kansas sun and over hoi stoves 
out "ctilincry commandos" were initiated inlu the mysteriu!* 

ot Army Cookery. 

The curriculum was replete with courses on every phase 
of cookery plain and lancy. 

The cooks returned to Lincoln, on June 23* wilh their 
minds full of new theories, new recipes and new resolutions 
that, from thiit day Iience the loud would ba better Mian 
ever. 

There were two additional movements made to Fort Riley. 
The first, tor the purpose of firing the SO caliber machine 
gun on the M 45 anti-aircraft mounts by a required number 
of the Battalion* This program covered a period from the 
16th to the 23d ol May 19-14. The second was undertaken 
to fulfill training requirements relative In the qualification In 
tinns, All men who had not qualified with the 03 rifle, and 
I how who had not previously completed the infiltration 
course or fiwd the carbine lor familiarization were required 
to go to the Fort Riley Range lor this purpose, This was 
accomplished from the 25th to the 27 1 h ol June 1944, 

While receiving technical training in Lincoln the 72jd 
rendered a valuable public service during a flood emergency 
which oceured in the early part of Juno 1944. Thv Hood 
Waters of ihe Platte River were particularly rampant aw\ 
there was. (or a lime, a serious threat ol washouts on the 
Burlinqton Line which spanned the Platte east oi Ashland, 
Nehraska. 

fn answer to a cull for volunteers for aid, more lhan one 
hundred members oi Company A, including company officers, 
look over the job ol filling and loading sand baip on 11*1 
cars lor shipment to threatened areas where the bags were 
used to butress the track embankment in high water areas. 
Pausing only when the rain reached cloudburst proportions 

7 



Hi* emergency detachment worked umhi (ion -> throughout 

Ihe night wher^ in a ten hour period 14,000 tHhtl baQA were 
HJIod and loaded on 23 flat cats- 

Also not to be? forgotten, was the night pruhli.m Ibfll wa« 
undertaken on June 2, 1*14-1. This beinq taken as a Seen!) 
movu under simulated bailie conditions. 

Currying lull field packs and wearing steel helmets, thti 
BaltaUon marched a distance of approximately {en miles over 
roads ana terrain lined with concealed dynamite dhorgds 
which were dotnnaU>d at intervals to achieve the effect U 
hostile artillery fire To lend additional realism to Ihe 
exerdse, groups of men were selected lo art the part 61 
enemy opposition lirincj blank ammunition from machine 
tfuns located at several points. 

Twice during the march, gas attacks weie simulated and 
masks worn employed as Ihe Battalion made its way throuqh 
clouds o( smoke and tear gas released hy the "enemy", 
Contact Willi advance columns deployed hy ihe opposition 
resulted in the enactment of frequent Iroilal as well <is rear 
guard action. 

And so, back to, and nn with technical Iraining which was 
concluded with an oitorclse conducted on the famous Ashland* 
Prafrno Division. The Battalion was bivnuacod al the National 
Guard Camp just outside of Ashland, Nebraska for the 
duration, of the battle simulated conditions which laftted 
from Ihe tflh lo the 12th of July, The problem beinq, to run 
iris slretch of track in the required and typical Gi manner. 

The Battalion was divided into opposing forces, in Ihis 
"test ol operation**, one charged with yetting a supply train 
through from Ashland to Praque, white the other did its best 
lo stop or delay the run- Every elfort Was made lo have 
the action as realistic uv possible and guards •patrolled "bridges 
and Other vital points oi the line* Loufi in advance of tin? 
train's progress, Uifr righl-oJ-way was planted with booby 
traps and obstructions ol all kinds, and at frcQucnt intervals 
the train was the center ol exploding charges and clouds ot 
gas,

THIS IS IT 

Still clinging in a saying, winch by Uiis lime hod changed 
to, "One thing sure, hall at tliese guys cauH pass Ihe nvOFSWffl 
physical at Ihe Pari"*, the Battalion left Lincoln nn August % 
1944. 

On August 4, Lhe 723d arrived al Camp Shanks, fharci Ui 
leceivn overseas indoctrination lectures, issues ol ti'oH 
clolhing and last minute scrutiny of personnel and military 
records: besides, chocking T A T, preparing rosters and, — 
Whfll do you know? Everyone passed the overseas physical. 

Then came Ihe familiar. "This is It"; and on Aucjusl 10, the 
Battalion, by companies, marched to the station and finch 
individual willi lull field pack end duffle bag boarded a train 
for NYPE* On arriving al j Nl*w York Central station the men 
loit the train with all equipment and matched aboaid the 
terry* crossed to Manhattan, onto the pier and boarded the 
E, B. Alexander, With very little delay Ihe ship pulled out 
of New Yoik at approximately 1030 hours on August It. 1944, 

Aside Jroin abondon ship drills, inspections sweating out 
two long chow lines daily, — usually eating with piespiraiion 
dripping into the mess gear, — and an occasional rietnil in 
the galley or latrine, the trip was uneventful and the passenger 
was an his own. Reading, several boxing matches, movies 
and an orchestra organized from among those on boiird, 
provided entertainment during die voyage. 

The convoy grow the first Sew days and dispersed again 
for several different ports upon approaching the roast of 
England. The E. 0* Alexander docked at Liverpol on <\urjust 
22, and the 723d disembarked on the morning of the 24ttt, 
boarded lr-jiiis immediately and arrived at Southampton the 
same day. 

With approximately 30 hours spent in Euylatid the 
Battalion boarded the British ship Chelsea on August 25, at 
Southampton- 

The troop compartments were more congested and uncom- 
fortable aboard Ihe Chelsea than they were on Ihe E. B- 
Alexander and the food served was no attraction*

FULKIIJJLEVr OF A MISSION 

Thus across Fraucu Via St Lo, Armenian, Surdon, Alencan

ters in a forme* Trench army barracks jusl racenilv evacuated 
Ijy Iho German J^rces* 

The Battalion with its mission underway al lasl, established 
Headq nailers at 1330 hoins 29 Autiusi 1944, on llm Ihird Ilnor 
al a building j.ial north o( Ihe depol at Lt* Mnns and operated 
belwerm Le Mans and Surdon. This Hist npnreilion was more 
in tfW nature of a temporary assignment under Hi* 70filh 
Railway Grand Division Iheu located al PoittaubauIL 

On September 9. Iho 7&W moved 1o Surdon, France where 
Battalion Headquarters w*s eslahlished. The t/nilwas assigned, 
on Ihis (hHc, under the 706th Railway Grand Division Al Le 
Mans, lo operate the territory Trom Surdon to Dreux includitiq 
both terminals. Temporary quarters ware established in 
throo French Manors located on llm highway connecting 
Moiiani Le Pin and MarmumEle* 

When lh« Fktttelfort arrived in Surdon* there was murh to 
ho done. Musi ol the buildings had been damaged bv air 
dllackt Thu railroad yards wcie in poor condiliuii and 
Ihore were no Facilities Tor handling oilier Mian a mure 
trickle ol liallic. 

Tho personnel of iho Unit was dispersed between Surdon 
and Drebx but Mr* hulk ol llie Battalion was Quartered at 
Stirdou. 

And now, what had been an enigma nr silence was unloldml 
as the advance party arrived! oji S&pleinbftr 14, 1944. They 
had loll Lincoln, Nebraska, we learned, and proceeded lo 
New York where IhQy embarked on I lie Mauritania* In five 
days, sailing without convoy protection, they trussed the 
AUanfic. 

Pi am lhr» day Ihe advance party landed in EuqLu.d Uieir 
work began. Equipment ranyinfj Irani pianl prime movers Eo 
shovels was gathered Irom every corner o( EnqLitiff. Ample 
testimony that the parly had pnrlormod its mission thoroughly 
was evident when Ihe Unit's Impedimenta was *i?t down in

Fmiicg. The battalion was as well equipped to perform i|s 
mission as was -my similar unit ll-.ei. operating OH the 
continent 

Willi Ihe Unit complete once mom, several projects wens 
initiated in improve Surdon. German Prisoners worn obtained 
Irotn Alertcon find the 'lace lifting" benmi. 

Work was smarted immediately lo clean out and repair 
Ihe station and the few Imflmnrjs thai were not completely 
rendered useless by the riedge of war. The remainder weie 
leveled a«d the surrounding arc-as cleared. 

The Station was used as dispatcher's oilice. BeltQiton Head- 
quarters and sleeping quarters for transient MOWS as well 

as for Battalion Headijuattet* personnel. 

Several smaller buildings were used lor a Post Exchange. 
Chaplain's office and tor the power unit which lurnislicd 

electricity, 

Five Gorman, I'rc-fnh lira led barracks were dismantled and 
moved Iroin Nonaul Lo Pin lo Surdnn where- they were 
reconstructed on the site where u shorl time belort had stood 
bomb galled buildings One was used for officers quarters. 
another lor a d-spensaiy, as a. medical delachmenl of two 
olflcers and nine enlisbui men finally arrived and was 
assigned lo the unit on Oclobci 13. 194-1. A third was used 
Tor enlisted men's quarters. Still under cnnslnHlion when 
Ihe unit lefl Surdon were Iwci other barracks, one scheduled 
In be used as a mess hall and the other as enlisted personnel 
barracks. 

Facilities lor coaling engines were provided and water 
lines were reconstructed to bring water into stand pipes for 
servicing locomotives. 

-\ stockade and barracks were built to house 250 German 
prisoners who were assigned as a permanent labor corps lor 
the Battalion, The prisoners were utilized to ihe Utmost in 
ail ol Ihe i debilitation work and even on ihe railroad, where 
security permitted. 

Tracks aid v.nd facilities wore repaired and pressed into 
service to handle the rush of trallic lhat berjan to pour out 



nr Cherbourg flnd Ui'uugh Suidati on the way to Paris and 
the combat nr^as beyond. 

Concurrent with His rebuilding of Surdon the train movement 
and operating soclions of (he Unit kept supply trams moving. 
Company C personnel worked day and night manv of 1(3 
crews going twentyfnnr and thirty six hours without respite. 
The dispatchers djid operators loo ( wore occupied around Ihr* 
clock moving au endless stream of cars eastward to Drou*. 

So great, as a matter of (act, was the volume of traffic 
between these points thai the operating crews were worked 
to a point almost beyond human endurance. Tim 7l0lh Rail* 
way Grand Division, [fl whom we were now assigned under 
date of September 18, was aware or this situation, however, 
and on October a l!M4 a radiugium was Issued rmm their 
Ifendquyrters attaching two officers and 127 enlisted men or 
the operating company of the 732d Railway Operating 
Battalion, to tympany t; ol this unit. This platoon arriving 
on Hie Nth ol October, provider! enough manpower to give 
relief to the train and engine crews and they remained until 
October 2t. at which time they returned to their parent 
organization^ 

On October 2% I0M Headquarters ol the 723d was closed 
al Surdon and re- established oti die siime day al Drcmjc, 
France. The Unit being assigned the additional trackage 
west ol Surdon to Arguntan. This increase of divisional 
territory made lh«j overall distance now covered, 112 Kilo- 
meters or 70-4 miles. 

The situation by now permitted the hire of French 
civilians a& parts of ciows and laborers in many jobs around 
the roundhouse and yards. The German Prisoner Company 
had been moved to Droux and was still used to very good 
advantage. 

The outside interests during Novemher included a memorial 
service and parade on Armistice Day when the Battalion 
was invited by the City o! Dreux to participate in the 
activities of the day. There was a gathering of the towns 
people in llie main square where the parade was Tormed. 
This Unit being represented by officers, color bearers ar*d 

1ft 



guards, Ihe Drum and Bugle Corps and a delachinenl of 
enlisted HWn armed with rifles. The parade proceeded Irom 
Ihp renter of town to Ihe cemelurv where our men held 
services by the graves ol American aviators kilted uear 
Dreux prior to American occupation. A very line speech 
was made by the Major ol DrettX in honor or all war dead* 

Thanksgiving was duly observed by the Battalion on 
November 23, at a gathering where all members that could 
possibly he spued without hampering operations, attended. 
Abo attending the ceremony were seveial officers Irom 
higher headquarters and ihe City Council ol Dreux. Willi 
music oiid singing, the President's Thanksgiving Proclamation 
read by the Commanding Officer, a word Irani Ihe Mayor and 
a hriei message by the Unit Chaplain, Ihc program was 
completed with ihe aw*ird oi Good Conduct Ribbons la 168 
enlisted men by their rcspcclive Company Commanders, 

The :lage was appropriately decorated for the occasion 
willi fruit*, vegetables and other merchandise. This, in 
addition to the Iree will offering, taken al the close of the 
ceremony amounting to approximately 3500 francs, was 
distributed to Ihe poor and needy ol Dreux and vicinity- 

In th'- evening a dance was held, which incidentally, was 
the lirsl public dance to be h«dd in Dreux for approximately 
lour ycais. The riance Wfltf enjoyed by all mililary peisonnel 
of the area and by the civilians who cared to attend. 

On 9 November 1944 whon changes were made in Grand 
Division Territories the 723d was now under the 707th Rail* 
way Grand Division located at Cherbourg. The usual headaches 
were encountered that always occur when such changes are 
made. However. th*i notation's territory was not changed 
again until December 2Jrd when Ihe line was again extended 
and Ihe Battalion was bounced beck to Ihe 710lh Railway 
Grand Division. This time His? eddition was made east of 
Dreux lo St Cyr and including Malelols Yard al Vatsaillgs, 
making a total of I Ui.7 miles ol the main roil supply line 
lo the "Front", operated by the Unit. 

With what turned out bo be the final major oflnnsive action 
by the German War Machine, the Battalion was put on lh5

alert and Christmas arui New Years passed wilh very Utile 
celebration* 

The spirit of Christmas mis upheld however, when 
at a suggestion from GattaJiou Headquarters and wIUi the 
aid ol the chaplain, the following program was carried out; 

22 December — The Chaplain, -with a qroup of ollicers and 
enlisted men, visited the schools extending nieelinns from 
Ihe American Army. Mare Ihftji 2500 candv bars, doruited 
by the men from their Christmas boxes nr t d Post Exchange 
rations, were distributed to the Children. Sonqs and Christ* 
mas exercises were presented by Ihc children at each school. 

23 December — The Chaplain visited the children^ hospital 
and distributed several hundred candy bars, apples, and toys* 

25 Incumber — About 230 French orphans, and children 
(ram very poor families, were fed a Christmas dinner in 
several mess halls. Candy and toys were distributed after the 
meal. In the afternoon a movie of the American armed 
forces in action was shown to 1500 Frcncit children. Willi 
Hie explanation and hope that their Chnstmss was brighter 
and happier because ol the Allied Liberation nf France. 

When advised of the bombing oi Si Lnzare Station in Paris 
on the jiight ol December 2f>, a small detail from the Unit 
was sent to hulp repair Ui-e damage. Two of this group 
received commendations for their efficient work (turn this 
Superintendent ol Equipment ol the 710th Railway Grand 
Division and Irom their own Commanding Officer. 

Several other commendations were received from higher 
headquarters while Hie Unit was at Drtuix. One ol the more 
notable being made for the efficient handlinq and safety 
record that was established during the Battalion's operations 
on the eon Lin enL 

Only one major #ccidi*nt occurred in Uus period An ammuni- 
tion train collided wilh u wrecking derrick overturning the enqine 
and lender, killing a French fireman and setting fire to die

Dimes' drive conducted In the States in connection with the 
celebration ol the Piesulonl's biTthday. Alierijxi the customary 
slogan, the 723d wmpaujn was piiblitizod as a "March ol 
Dirties Across the Sea" and a money order (S ^jJC*W>) was sent 
to the Warm Sprincis Foundation, in cam of the President ol 
the United StfcttfS. 

The balance- of the* prcsenl DsSiflWttfinf was;uievenllul except 
lor the gradual cliangg lo Phase III Operation, whereby Uuj 
French took ovei the* operation of this territory *mc! under 
Movement Orders from Headquarters Second Military Kailwav

I3iii ( "Destination Germany"*] 

Following close on iho hnels ot Ihe udvancinq American 
Forces, Hie Unit arrived in Muuchun-Gladtiach al tiitiht* Amid 
Ihe distant rumbling of Artillery the first train passed through 
Ihe ghostly terminal unknowingly, but stopped short a lew 
miles beyond with the nose ol tin* engine in n bomb crater 
and Ihe personnel unhinujinij themselves from oilier arms, 
tegs and equipment ac Ihe Iron! of each car* Only a fin* 
Buffered bruises mirl scratches, however, and iho train was 
pulled back to Ihe station jnsi at dawn,

Headquarters was uslablishud a) MuiHhen-GUidbadu 
Germany on \5 March 1045 at 1200 hours? one ytmr to Hie 
■J<i\ and hour alter Headquarters was established <it Lincoln, 
Nebraska to start training Tor It's primary mission, Al tbflt 
Ifmo no one dared la predict that the 723d Railway Operating 
Battalion would bo operating in Germany one year Irom that 
dote; 

With this change in operating territory came the change of 
technical supervision from tlm 710th to the 7081!) Railway 
Grand Division. 

The main lino of operation was from Henoqenrath to 
Geldern with railheads changing Irom time to time to lit the 
needs of the Ninth U. S. Army, whom we were now sorting 
on a priority movement basis* 

Operations were under shell fire quite often al several 
points aluny Ilia line but no serious damage was caused and 
no lives lost from litis action. Of course this threat was 
removed almost overnight when the Ninth Armv broke 
through I he German Rhine defenses and chanqeri the battle 
tine from within a lew miles to a point approximately half 
way across Germany, ■ 

The untimely death of our President and Commander in 
Oriel was mourned by ■ r 1 1 and a memorial scivice wns held 
on Apiil 14th al Ihe Battalion Chapel in his honor. 

During April an increasing (low of supplies were pushed 
through to keep up wilh Ihe lightening advance of the aimic* 
and westward trains hauled an estimated I2S,000 prisoners of 
war ftttd 29,000 French and Belgium repatriates in the month 
period. 

The 723d*s most important and exacling task was the 
operation or the Gouldtn Bridge at Wesel — first railroad 
span constructed acrcss the Rhine River. Operation uf the 
bridge became Ihe Unit's responsibility on 2ft April, and from 
then to VE-Day, a daily average of 16 Eastbound trains 
crossed Ihe river — or about one train eastward every hour- 

The significance of operating the bridge becomes evident 
on considering that over a single track span it has been 









neeetttiiry lo funrrH all l:aslhoun-cl traffic to the American 1st, 
9lh and lSlli Armies as well as the British 2nd Armv. Thus 
the bridge was, in effect, a self-imposed bottleneck which* 
it n less expertly (muled and controlled, would have choked 
off rail Iniflic destined for supply depots and railheads 
Supporting the Allied sweep to victory. 

It is of prime importance thai we not forgel the splendid 
work don*? continually liy the track, bridge and siqnal platoons 
ol CompdJiy **A*\ Their never-ending job of construction, 
maintenance and ichibililation was accomplished under bazar** 
dons conditions and in all kinds of weather, making It 
possible lo spee« tip operations with good tommuniua linns 
and with an increasingly Safer right-of-way. 

Tlie accomplishments of the car. shop and totind house 
platoons of Company |f B" are evident as shown in statistics 
listed at the end ot this narrative. 

The 9th of May saw the Official end of the war in Europe, thus 
nor operations wore reversed. The flow of certain Items, 
such as ammunition and ordnance material, lo the forward 
areas was haltod and a great movement to the rear was 
started, 

Once again a change in Grand Division jurisdiction wis 
made and on 17 April the Unit was ana in under the 707th. 
Several adjustments in the Ha Hal ion's territory were mudu 
from time to lime. The major change Involved the 
assignment ol the line Irom Mnnchcn-Gladbach, over the 
Victory Bridge at Duisberg to Hamm, Germany, on TA May 
1945. Also the spur lines irom Viersen, »n Dulken. German v, 
and K refold to VVillich, Germany, were still the responsibility 
or Ihe 723d. 

Several former German railroad employes were hired he 
fore th-? end of hostilities to help get elect rid v opera led 
Switches and control lowers in the various vaids into service 
and wilh Urn end of the war utilization of all iormer railroad 
personnel was started* The ultimate ijoal being to turn 
back all operations to Ihe Germans, having only supervisionai 
control by Ibe occupying forces, 






With this goal now attained and (he supervision of the 
railroads turned ever to the British in this* their occupaiino'il 
territory, the 723d has completed it's mission in the ETC. 

The Battalion is nmborized Battle Stars lor campaigns, 
"Northern France'*, "RIujic-UuhT and "Central Europe". Tho 
Unit ltdd no casualties Irom direct enemy action but there 
Were tour deaths frum accirjenta, One of furor lost a hand 
and one EM lost a loot Irom mines planted near the iii|ht* 
ol-way at Duisberg. Each accident was as unfortunate as 
nre all accidents but to bo serving under Ihe conditions ol 
modern war, injimcs and casualties have bean extremely low 
in this Unit. 

On 3 July 1945 Ihe announcement was made thai the 
Kuthilion was classllied a Category IV Unit and at somr* 
future data, yet to be determined, would mtum to the USA. 
for deactivation thus ending thr. Hie of n battalion. 

Now, with cnkslhenics, clow order drill and special service 
programs to pats Ihe time 1 , one question is in the mind pi 
sacli individual, "When and where do I qo frL>m here?", as 
no Miie knows who will romnin with thf* Unit to no "uveiseas" 
(USA) or who will be redeployed In this aone — only time 

and Special Orders will tell.
