187th ECB

This is a photo I found on the internet I thought would be interesting for you to take a look.

According to my uncle, my grandfather and other American soldiers were heading to the front when a surrendered German army was heading In the opposite direction to a POW camp. My grandfather went up to the general who was in the back of a "deuce and a half" and ripped the binoculars from around his neck. He initially started to resist then put his hands up in resignation!

Also included a framed photo of him I have on a machine gun with his dog tags draped over the frame.

I just received photos of the binoculars from my uncle and want to try to figure out info on the inscriptions on the binoculars.

Currently, I could use some help locating new information on the 187th ECB. If you have any information or photos, please contribute to the story of these men.
