Hello Sean,

Thank you for the quick reply regarding the abbreviation FoD, I was not aware of it.
Regarding the location of Vernon Martin's grave, I believe that the grave in Totowa is more of a memorial slab or commemorative slab and not an actual grave of Vernon Martin.

Firstly, on the FindaGrave site it is said that he was not found. Secondly, the vast majority of American soldiers who were found dead on German territory were buried in the large American military cemeteries after the war (e.g. Margraten). So it would be very unlikely, if he had been found near Cologne after the war, that he would have been transferred to the USA ......I am still at a loss, I will contact the Grove Memorial Park in Totowa....
