The 866th Army Battalion was deployed to Châteauroux, France in 1954 to build roads and assist in the construction of the USAF base. This page tells the detailed history of how La Martinerie was built with the aid of the U.S. Army - 866th EAB. This page is part of www.chateaurouxairstation.com website.

(Herve' Simonnet is in the French Military; stationed at La Martinerie (transferred to Paris in 2007) (and lives in Brassioux - still). He obtained this booklet at the base; scanned the pages one-by-one and provided it for the website. The notation on the last page of the booklet, indicated it had belonged to a serviceman named Jack Harnett. Jack had visited CHAS a few years ago and was given the booklet by another french militaryman. I located Jack here in the States and he graciously provided many items for the website. Thank you, Herve' and Jack for your contributions to our memories.) (Herve' and Jack have never met.) Click on the small photos to view the full page. After viewing each page, use your back button to return to this page. If the photos stop appearing, clear your temporary internet file folders to regain your memory. As time permits, I will type the names listed on the pages so if someone googles that name they will be led to this page and perhaps be reconnected with their old battalion and their buddies. jp
