Burial records

[Stephane Muret]

Hello Berk, (and Ron)

Ron is very lucky, i usually ask for one or two IDPF for one year but i always must pay to obtain them, never the same price but as it was written before, it depends from what is copied in the IDPF ... I've just sent a letter to the same adress than you, askiing for the IDPF and giving all the details i have ... It takes from 3 to 6 monthes to obtain a response. I'm sure this will give you all the informations you need. Last i received about lost pilot from 324th FG gave me so many informations like testimonies from german soldiers from Flak, french peoples ...

Be patient but i hope you'll be successful in your quest !

Ivo de Jong,
My uncle was 1st Lt James V Richardson B-17 Pilot 8th Air Force 96th BG 339 BS, I know his plane went down in the forest of St Germain. Have letter from frenchmen who found wallet of my uncle and it and its contents were returned after the war. I have information from Michel Lugez that according to him my uncle was buried in a commom hole in the cemetery of Saint Germain-En-Laye. Anyone with any information on this cemetery please contact me.

Thanks Berk

Stephane Muret,
I appreciate your response. I hope in my uncles case the IDPF has all the info you say. Did you find a form to fill out for your request? Or just type one. I am afraid mine may not reach the right department. I sent my request to Department of the Army, 200 Stoval Street, Alexandria, Va. instead ot the address ron Ra's listed on his post.

Thanks
Berk

While researching for the German MACR on my uncles plane. I found information that confirmed my uncle was buried in the "New Cemetery, Viroflay, Paris" as you said. It gave me names and grave numbers for my uncle and some of his crew. Some names were unknown. Do you know if this cemetery is still in existance? If so do you have any information?

Thanks again,
Berl

Hello Berk,

Go to www.ville-viroflay.fr/general.swf
Click on 'divers' and then on 'cimetiere'.
You'll notice it's still there (and should probably still have an administration).
Best,
Ivo

Have not received IDPF but have information that my uncle was buried originally in the New Cemetery of Viroflay near Paris grave number 31 before being moved to Solers. Appreciate any information or photos.

Thanks
