Re: Capt.Wallace Emmer 354th Fighter Group
November 18, 1944:
To remember Bud Emmer's 27th birthday on this day. He was a POW, somewhere in Germany at this time. Sadly, in the evening of this day, Bud's younger brother, PFC Raymond Phillip Emmer would be killed by enemy mortar fire in the woods just west of Udenbreth, Germany. Ray was a member of a heavy weapons unit of H Company, 2nd Batallion, 394th Infantry Regiment, 99th Division. He was in a foxhole with his buddy, William B. Williams. Ray was buried in Europe and in 1948 the remains of both Emmer boys would be returned to St. Louis and buried with military honors at New Mt. Sinai Cemetery. With the passing of their parents in 1975 the family is together at the family burial plot. 'Lest We Forget......... Tripp
