Of these eight, three had transferred to the 978th in the ETO, one from the 37th Engineers, one from the 82nd Engineers and the other unknown. The remaining five had joined the 978th at Camp McCoy. Other photographs taken the same day identify three more ex-978thers on the STURGIS. So at least eleven more men left midway through December. In fact, this same photographer had taken a photograph of Replacement Depot #4 on December
14th, indicating that these men had left the Company at least by that date. They
arrived on the West Coast on 5 January 1946.
