Re: F/O Howard Hugh Asher Jr KIA december 31 1944 near Ostend Belgium
Alain,

Neupré served as a temporary site starting 8 Feb 1945, also as an identification point for those fallen soldiers brought there from several temporary cemeteries across the ETO.

It is so that the remains of F/O Howard went from Neupré to Kentucky, but this does not mean it was his first burial place.

Unfortunately the online Weekly Burial Reports in the National Archives Catalog seem to run to 17 December 1944 (Report No. 115) only.

As Dennis wrote, the IDPF of F/O Howard may give more details.

Groet,
Leendert
