Apparently it was for the men in the 292nd Combat Engineer Battalion. Please see the citation below.
Paul Baumgardner entered the US Army in 1944 and was sent
to England with the 292nd Engineer Combat Battalion attached
to General Simpson's 9th Army. His unit was responsible for building
bridges, sweeping for mines and maintaining supply routes for the
advancing infantry divisions. He was wounded, taken as a POW
and eventually released.
