The Combat Engineers

Grady McMurtry

[circa 1942]

We are the Corps of Engineers,

The forts we build are made to stand for ever

We are fighting pioneers,

The Army rolls on roads of our endeavor.

Casements and bridges of steel,

Or mines that blow the foe to eternity;

We are THE COMBAT ENGINEERS,

We are the Essayons Fraternity.
