Additional Details

The African-American 95th was one of the best trained engineer battalions in the entire service. Formed in April of 1941 before the war, they received training that later construction outfits, brought together after Pearl Harbor, did not. Following further training at Fort Bragg, they were sent to Canada to build the Alcan Highway in 1942.
