Re: From a C-47 crash site. Someone can help us?
Finally, a break through!
Thanks Patrick. ABMC have no burials for such a unit with 904 numbers. the unit was an Air Base Security battalion (ASB Btn) Searching internet there graves in the US ought to be marked with '904 AIR BASE SEC BN' but I'm not getting any returns to July Aug 1944. The modern day USAF Police might have some form of memorial, I'll see if we can track them down. This link here: mmiarchivist.pbworks.com/f/Household+Inventory.pdf has the unit flag in their archives, I'll contact them see if they have anything. Howard B Wank died way back in 1974 in his native Ohio. Marvin Butz may have died as late as 2007 and seems to have stayed in the airforce after the war, up to 1953 according to a newspaper article I found. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/atl...6929&fhid=5442 Raymond H Kelley, i cannot be certain but a man of this name who was an air force veteran passed away in Florida in 2005. Can't determine Taylor just to the name being very common. There is a little history of the Air Base Sec Bn at this link: http://www.history.army.mil/books/ww.../chapter15.htm
