Hi Crater, two possible ways to read stolen.

 

One company physically stole it . . . . and engraved it ??

 

A bridge building competition and one company ' stole it ' by winning the competition in some way

 

the answers possibly out there somewhere maybe in company records, or unit magazine . . .

Well whatever it is, it's Korean related as the 13th Eng Bn was in the 7th inf Div, and the 8th Eng Bn was in the 1st Cav Div (note, the Cav in Korea will be in around 4 months be reflagged as the 2nd Inf Div, with the 2nd Inf Div at Ft Benning, now reflagged as the 1s Cav Div, and off to Vietnam it goes)
