Ben, It is my understanding that if a soldier is not listed in a
Military Cemetery, it probably means that his body was shipped home for
burial. When we were in Belgium in '89, I inquired about Billy Walker,
Hr. 3rd. The Administrator, could not find his name, and the above was
his explanation. ! was unable to locate his family in Selma, Ala. In
1948, Johnny Bonk's body was returned to Reading, Pa. for burial. I was
one of the four members of Hq. 3rd who served as pall-bearers.

Hi Ben

As far as I know Cleo Browning was killed at the time I lost my arm, I am sure Mike Spano would know better than I because he was still there after the bombing. It is too bad his family is having such a had time finding out what happened to him.

I am doing fine I turned 82 the other day. I keep up with all of your 517th mail, It is a fine job that you are doing.

Best wishes to all members of the 517th combat team.
