Regimen! Employed as
Infantry at Anzio
WITH THE FIFTH ARMY,
ITALY—CpI. Rudolph O. Gobrogge,
carpenter, 689 Central avenue, is a
member of the 39th Engineer Com
bat Regiment, the unit currently
holding open Route 65, main supply
route to the Fifth Army front in
Italy.
Besides building bridges and re
pairing roads, the 39th has three
amphibious operations to its credit
and has often functioned as infan
try.
Its Ist Battalion landed on D Day
at Gela, Sicily, with Ranger units
and soon after was joined by the
rest of the regiment. The Ist Bat
talion again went ashore with spear
head units that established the
beachhead in Italy at Salerno. The
entire engineer regiment was em
ployed as infantry on the Anzio
beachhead, where it was landed
January 24, 1944, two days after D
Day, and held the right flank, along
the Mussolini Canal, until relieved
by Special Service forces.
The 39th has, in Italy alone, built
125 bridges, 77 bypasses, 123 culverts,
24 major roadblocks, seven airstrips
and a floating footbridge.
The engineers built 97 bypasses
and shoveled rubble in seven cities
during the 38-day Sicilian campaign.
Men of the 39th piloted assault
boats across the Voltumo River in
Italy as the 3rd "Marne" Infantry
Division established bridgeheads
over the river and built one of the
first treadway bridges to span the
Voltumo.
They strung 90 miles of concer
tina wire and planted 40,000 mines
on the Anzio beachhead under Ger
man shellfire and assembled an 80-
foot Bailey bridge across a canal in
seven hours, as enemy mortar shells
and small arm fire covered the area.
The 39th built an 8000-yard road
through a valley to Highway 7 to
expedite the breakthrough from the
beachhead, and then moved north
from Rome along Higway 1. Among
the first troops in Piombino, they
had the port in operation four days
after their entry and themselves op
erated it for 30 days. They set up
a 410-foot Bailey bridge across the
Amo River at Florence in five days.
It required less than a day for
them to reopen Highway 65, con
necting Florence and Bologna, when
the traffic artery was washed out
in five localities.
Hie 39th was set ashore in Janu
ary. 1943, at Oran, Northern Algeria,
and assigned tasks in French Mor
occo and Northern Algeria.
