I picked this up a while ago at an estate sale which was close to Fort Belvoir, which trained engineers during WWII to my understanding. The card is marked HQ, ETO, OCE, US Army. I don’t know what that stands for, so any help would be appreciated.

Also I forgot to mention that the card is named to a Lt. Adams.

The Abbreviations stand for Headquarters (HQ) European Theater of Operations (ETO) Office of the Chief of Engineers (OCE)..

 

You may be able to find more information about the Bridge Data Card in the Army Green Book Series: United States Army in World War II, The Technical Services: The Corps OF Engineers Troops and Equipment.
