Brian,

Many thanks for your information.

Uffz Arthur Mohr is also buried at the Lommel German War Cemetery.

Kurtryk is perhaps the town ' Kortrijk '.

Best regards

Hi Luc

I believe you may have a copy of an English-language article about Major Martin Vetter, OC the Heinkel V-1 launchers of KG3 and KG53. If so, would you mind sending me a copy? If I have got the wrong person, I apologise! Thanks in advance.

Cheers
