Here is a link to the seabee museum: http://www.seabeemuseumstore.org/
They have cruisebooks of some battalions from wwII. A cruise book is similar to a high school year book that covers the highlights of the battalions exploits.

Sure do. My Dad was a Seabee in Able Company in Guam, Guadalcanal, Bougainville to name a few places. I have photos of the Third Marine Division if interested.

Hello everyone, my dad was also in the seabees, he was in the Pacific, mostly the Philippines. 1942. He was out of Camp Crowder MO. He passed away about 16 years ago, my mother passed away last year and I found a panoramic photo of my dad's company. The photo is about 3.5 ft. long and 10 inches high. Hand written at the bottom and hard to read it says 36 B'N Co. E 8/10/42. I'm not sure about the, B'N , don't know what that means. The photo is of 242 men in uniform. I'm 56 and when I'm gone I'm afraid this photo will be lost or destroyed. Is there some place I can donate this photo?
