    As always you guys are epic !!! Man this is one of the most friendly forums I have ever participated and thankful that I found you guys !!!

    I'm definitely going to try and get the IDPF on my grandfather.

    The files from the NPRC did have a lot of info and letters back home but I would like to see what else the IDPF may have like original burial sites and when he was moved.

    I wish I would have asked these questions when I was at the Ardennes Cemetery but I will on my next visit when I bring my son.

    Wow all of those photos and medals are incredible! My only question is how you got the Ruptured Duck, as to my knowledge it was given after discharge.

    ABMC should have the information if the deceased was first buried in a temporary cemetery or not. Imho the best would be to ask at Henri Chapelle, either by mail or by phone. In Luxembourg Cemetery the staff give you the information straight away on request. I don't know about Henry Chapelle but in Luxembourg only rest soldiers from a single, the Grand Failly, temporary cemetery.
