Re: Cresh P-47 16.02.1945 Cologne

He was buried in 1949 in New Jersey.

He was first reported missing in March, 1945. He was still listed as missing in an August, 1945 article.


I will see if there are any other articles.

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.
