Alain,

It appears that Lt Lloyd Bruce was taken POW. There's such a record of him on the aad.archives.gov website.

He was from Missouri.

Groet,

Leendert

Re: 2nd Lt Bruce Lloyd H 363 FG

Hi Alain & Leendert !

2nd Lt. Lloyd M. Bruce, 363rd FG, U.S.Army-s/n O-804106 was indeed POW from May 11th, 1944 on. He was liberated in 1945.

There is no entry in the KU- or J-files, which could be matching up with his landing in Belgium that day. All book sources give as lost-place "Marche". You may check by the MACR, if there are entries, concerning German LGK-reports.

Best wishes !

2nd Lt Bruce Lloyd H 363 FG

Hi Alain, Leendert and Horst,

The macr is mentioning northeast Marche - no information regarding German documents is included . A copy of the macr can be e-mailed, just ask !
The macr mentions as name 2Lt. Lloyd H. Bruce.

Best regards from (another side of) Belgium.

Luc

Luc,

Fine, but all traces pinpoint 2nd Lt. Lloyd M. Bruce, Service-Number
O-804106.
He is also mentioned in the 363rd book by Nick Miranelli on page
5-69 as Lloyd M. Bruce.

Best regards,

Horst Weber
