Robert E. Young KIA 1.10.45
I was born in freedom, in 1948, and from my youth I still remember all the white crosses on Margraten, The Netherlands. And the name of Robert E. Young is well known to me. In the Fifties, my parents, my sister and I went to the cemetary once a year, looking for that white cross with the name of that soldier. For me, he represents the spirit and the courage of all those American soldiers who gave their lives while freeing us from Nazi Germany. My mother and an American lady from Pittsburgh (presumably his mother?) were penpals. It was on her request that we visited on a regular base his grave. So why am I writing this now? Well, while scanning old photographs into my pc, I found several ones taken in 1956, showing the white cross with his name on it, and thanks to Google I found this blog. So now I added his photo from this website and the description of the battle in which he died to my old picture from the cemetary in Margraten, and my (grand)children will now know what happened to that soldier Robert E. Young, his name spelled on that white cross...

Can you provide any additional information on Oliver P. Wimmer. Thanks.

Info please on Oliver Wimmer killed in the Ardennes. Thanx...

My grandpa, Pvt. Kermit Dale Kuhn was KIA on 27 Feb, 1945 and was buried at Plot K row 12 grave 9 at Margratten cemetery. He was in the 309th engineers, 84th divsion and was awarded the bronze star. If anyone has any information, I would be profoundly grateful.

I do know that a Dutch family adopted his grave, but I don't know their names.

Hi, I am a Grandson of Goerge Rainwater of the 84th Infantry 334th Regiment. I would like to find out more about his tour of duty. He is still alive and well but does not talk much about his experience. I can't say I blame him though. I do know he was injured crossing the Roer River. He did say that him and one other soldier made it out of the assault boat alive. He was shot in the leg. He also faught in the battle of the Bulge. He says he was part of the C-Division. Any information would be great. Thanks for all your help.

Blake Rainwater.
