Re: Capt.Wallace Emmer 354th Fighter Group
Bud (Wally) Emmer is buried next to his brother & parents in St. Louis, MO.
His brother Raymond P. Emmer was KIA by artillery shrapnel on 18 Nov 44 while serving with his unit: F Co./2 Bat./394 Inf. Regiment/99 Inf. Division/1 Army near Wirtzfeld, Belgium. The medical record indicated that Ray was killed in the vicinity of Weissenborn, Germany. However, mlty. maps indicate the positions of Ray's units on that date clearly in Belgium, not Germany. And, Weissenborn is located far to the east, deep within Germany. Later, on 15Dec 44, Ray's unit was just east of Murringen, Hunningen & Losheimergraben (just over the German border) right up front facing the Scharnhorst Line of the German West Wall. This was near the main thrusts of the German (12 SS Panzer Group) advances on 16 Dec....the Battle of the Bulge.
