Cant find any really good sources of information on the engineer detachments.
Is there a go-to source for this type of thing of which Im not aware?
Doing some research on a deceased family member.
All I found and quite outdated: http://www.geocities.com/armypeacock/
Thanks.

This is about a specific guy who was in the same unit. While it's not your relative, if your relative served during the same time period in the same unit, it should show details of the unit's movement during that time period if you find any of those.

Same thing. About this other guy, but shows where he went to with that unit during a specific time period.

This guy keeps a 371st website, with an option to contact him.

You might want to consider making contact with Ft. Leonard Wood and the Engineer School there. They may be able to direct you to a museum or an archive location that has records that you are looking for.
