Re: Unknown grave of lancaster DV222 crewmember.

Hi Henk,

thanks for the information wich is correct. I know the grave in Dürnbach and the grave in Jachenau. But there is one problem: According to the
"Sterberegister" (Death register) of the community Jachenau, Waters was exhumed on 9th of june 1945 by US troups from his grave in Jachenau. At this time, the war cemetery of Dürnbach was not yet in use. As far as i know, they started buring in early 1946 in Dürnbach. So i was trying to find out, what happened to the remains meanwhile.
The mentioned information about the (at least for me) unknown grave location was from the CWGC. According to the CWGC, a map reference was included in the given information.
I assume the part "W4 732764" could be the map reference, but i don't know how to resolve it. The coordinate systems i know, are different.

Greetings

Lino
