Film showing members of the IX Engineer Command (specifically the 922nd EAR) preparing for Normandy. Shots include Col Pat Little presenting the Soldier's Medal to Tec 4 James McGinley at Great Barrington, England; 922nd EAR heavy equipment on the road to embarkation; loading into LCTs and arriving at Omaha Beach, Normandy, France.
"Tec4" is short for Technician Grade 4 (same pay grade as a sergerant) and they were in many different units. Do you have an idea what your grandfather did during the war?

Was your grandfather a member of the 922nd EAR? I'd be interested in discussing his service. My grandfather was the 922nd EAR CO from April until AUgust 1944.
