Merci a eux pour l'éternité from France...
RIP PFC Lester R Cory
A Company
18th Infantry Regiment
1st Division
Plot E Row 16 Grave 3
A farm boy from Grafton Ilinois who was KIA on 10-18-1918. 🕯️ (I randomly bought a postcard on eBay because I liked the picture. It turned out to be a piece of Lester's personal correspondence but I don't know if he ever got it because he was in France by July 1918 and it was sent to boot camp in June.)
Most professional staff. I can never stop going back. On my first visit in 1958, I was there for the 100-year end of the Great War. God bless the staff that works there.
Might want to check your math..:). I think you meant 50.
Incredible..the planning and design. .outstanding...very well taken care of.
Es precioso, me emocionaría poder visitarlo.
Visited 7 years ago. Great Uncle Francis Coffey 101st Infantry 26th Yankee Div buried there. Breathtaking and heartbreaking. Well worth the trip.Thank You, France, and your great people.
My great grandfather (Unit L Company, 3rd Battalion, 310th Infantry) barely made it off that battlefield. God bless these men, my family wouldn’t exist if not for their sacrifice🇺🇸
RIP Elisha C. Hudson
Elisha was from Delaware, and he also has a stone in the Bishopville Cemetery in Maryland
My great uncle, Edward Morin is buried there, Plot D Row 13 Grave 2.
He is remembered and his grave is well taken care of.
How did these cemeteries built for WW1 hold up to WW2? Did the Axis powers respect these cemeteries and try to avoid them?
The Germans generally treated the cemeteries respectfully, and the cemeteries were cared for throughout the war by their local staff (ie, French and Belgian citizens employed by ABMC).
