Hello Alain,
MACR 8477. Date given as 1st September, 1944. Crashed and burned. Witness statement has - "approximately 6 Miles East of Beaumont, Belgium". So possibly in the near locality. He was Re-interned in the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Rochester, Monroe County, New York on Saturday May 28th, 1949. The "findagrave" page has at last viewing at least 6 photos as well as family details. His DoB was 14th July, 1922. The P38 was 43-28408 - "9D-Z". "Losses of the 8th & 9th AAF" vol 4 has on page 576 " note:- Belgian civilians buried Lt. Schiefen near the wreckage. Reinterred in US Military Cemetery Fosse at Namur, Plot L-3-54 on 7th November 1944. Final reinterment is in New York". Alex Last edited by Alex Smart; 21st July 2018 at 15:42. |

I have found the following site: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...am-c.-schiefen
Apparently, he is buried at the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Rochester, Monroe County, New York, US. |
