Second Engineers Band

Portrait of 2nd Engineers Band

Shortly after hostilities ceased the 57th Pioneer Infantry Band was assigned to the Second Engineers and reported soon after the Regiment reached the Rhine.

The two known portraits of the 2nd Engineers Band, which were taken on the Rhine River in Germany, portrayed over forty members. Just thirty-seven were listed in the Roster of the 2nd Engineers as being band members. They were all designated as Company "H." They hailed from Tennessee, Massachusetts, Vermont, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Illinois, New Hampshire and New York. None of the thirty-seven were with the 2nd Engineers until after the war ended.
