Commendation for 117th Engineers in Sedan campaign
Colonel Johnson lauds the One Hundred and Seventeenth Engineer Regiment for extensive road work and bridge building under fire during the Sedan operation. Officers and men are praised for remarkable endurance, night work, and quick repairs from Brieulles to Grand Armoises, with multiple corduroy roads and bridges that sustained division supply and infantry advances.
