There is also an article on May 9, 1949 which mentions Vernon Martin's body was being returned from Europe along with 16 others from the Patterson NJ area.
The ship was the Army Transport "Haiti Victory" which was carrying the remains of 5328 men who died in Europe.[/quote]
Hello Roland,
I have since received a response from Laurel Grove Cemetery in Totowa/ NJ. They have sent me the grave map. In this it is noted that 2nd Lt. Vernon Martin was buried with an OVER-SEAS GOVT. BOX to the USA and was buried in Totowa on March 26, 1949.
Please answer me an important question: WHERE can I look up or ask where Lt. Martin was buried in Germany before the transfer to the USA? Is there a Graves Commission or another institution for this ? Under which designation can I see this e.g. in the National Archive?
Thanks for your help
Manni
