From the Netherlands

Clinton Dill · 2012-01-28T11:34:20Z

Hello everybody on this forum. We are a family from the Netherlands and recently we adopted 6 graves and 2 names on The Walls of Missing. 2 graves from American soldiers on the American Cemetery and Memorial Ardennes in Neupre (Neuville-en-Condroz), Belgium. 2 graves from American soldiers on the American Cemetery and Memorial in Henri-Chapelle, Belgium. 2 graves from British soldiers on Brussum War Cemetery, Netherlands. And 2 names from American soldiers on The Walls of Missing on the American Cemetery and Memorial Margraten, Netherlands. By time we will place these soldiers on our own homepage under a new link called Grave Adoption. We always have been and still are very interested in WWII. We visited Normandie in 2009, all the beaches from D-Day., cemetery's, museums and many other interesting places. In 2011 we visited many places, museums, cemetery's ect from The Battle of The Bulge. You can see photo's on our website,Ofcorse all is in Dutch but Grave Adoption will also be written in English. One of the soldiers who's grave we adopted is: Name: Harold F. CASSIDY ASN: 32795310 Unit: 424th Infantry Regt / 106th Inf Division Rank: Private First Class D.O.D.: 16 Dec. 1944 Burial site: Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery and Memorial We found some information about Cassidy and we recieved information also, but it is very difficult for us to find something. So when you have information for us about himself, his Unit, family etc, we appreciate it very much. Maybe if you want us to give information about the other soldiers who's grave we have adopted, let us known. And excuse us if our English is not perfect. Regards, Ed and Anita

Hope you will be able to make the Memorial Weekend trip, too. I know that would make you very happy. Will look forward to seeing those photos.

But not everything is finished, we are still searching for information.

We found and recieved many information, also from people on this website.

Also we have to translate any info we have recieved into English or Dutch.
