Changed the description of the tanks crossing the pontoon bridge; those are post-war model M47 Patton II tanks, not M-26 Pershings. Turret has a pinched nose; Pershing tank turrets were "slab sided" and had a flat mantlet. Also note the "blister" for the optical rangefinder at left; the M-26 did not have such a feature. Also note that the main armament is that of a 90mm M36 cannon, common to the M47, not the 90mm M1,2 or 3 used by the Pershing.

The section on the Seine River bridge at Meulan does not appear to be correctly placed in the timeline of events. I am not confident enough in my Wikipedia skills to edit, but clearly the Battalion was in France before they were in Belgium, Holland, etc. Unless they went back, which I don't think they did.

Combat engineers of 17th Armored Engineer Battalion helped the French by building docks, depots and laid rail lines. As the US enter front line operations the 17th built trench systems, wire fence lines, and bridges. ^[1]

I've moved the information about WW I from the article to this talk page because the Beck citation is about the 17th Engineer Regiment (Rail). The Army's lineage and honors page ^[2] does not include a document for the 17th Battalion; earlier documents ^[3] do not connect the 17th Battalion to the 17th Regiment. I'm not certain why we have a page for a battalion.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 17:01, 2 February 2022 (UTC) reply
