Re: From a C-47 crash site. Someone can help us?

Trying again, the first database seesm to not have the Rome Cemetery casualties.


In Sicily and Romw Cemetery

Clifford Bell 32328840 New York Private 324th Air Survey Squadron 31 Jul 1944 Buried DIED NON BATTLE AAD = White

Richard O Gates Vermont First Lieutenant 725th Bomber Squadron 451st Bomber 31 Jul 1944 Missing Assumed to be non-negro

Frank B Green 36871031 Michigan Private First Class 812th Engineers Battalion Aviation 31 Jul 1944 Buried DIED NON BATTLE Cannot find in AAD database

Jerry C Roch 36566873 Michigan Staff Sergeant 513th Bomber Squadron 374th Bomber 31 Jul 1944 Buried FINDING OF DEATH Cannot find in AAD database

Lawrence C Stankus 15078527 West Virginia Sergeant 551st Parachute Infantry Regiment 31 Jul 1944 Buried DIED NON BATTLE
WWiimemorial.com says that Stankus was killed in an accidental shell explosion, plus he is a white soldier from his photo there.


Thomas I Conboy California First Lieutenant 717th Bomber Squadron 449th Bomber 1 Aug 1944 Buried DIED NON BATTLE

Raymond Dillard 34232729 Louisiana Private 190th Ordnance Ammunition Company Aviation 1 Aug 1944 Missing DIED NON BATTLE This solider is recorded as being negro in his enlistment record, but he is missing, not buried.

Francis A Fredette Massachusetts Chaplain First Class United States Navy Reserve 1 Aug 1944 Buried

Albert Hall 34203522 Alabama Private 1902nd Ordnance Ammunition Company 1 Aug 1944 Buried DIED NON BATTLE This airman was negro per enlistment records

Owen Kohl California Master Sergeant 18th Squadron 66th Troop Carrier Group 1 Aug 1944 Buried DIED NON BATTLE

So, still not very conclusive, the most hopefull of all above is Pvt Albert Hall but he is a day later than the crash date.

I suggest you contact the www.abmc.gov people and ask them if their old record show a batch of burials around that date that would match up. It would have been 1948 or there abouts before these mens bodies were returned home for burial.
