In 2005 I researched and found he was buried here. I found your website today and am so greatful to know he is in such a wonderful place. My mother never knew where or if he was buried only that he died in April of 1945. She is much relieved to know that he is resting and is being take care of.

Thank you to the wonderful people of Margraten and the Neatherlands.

Mijn adoptiegraf , Fred Grainger was medic in B company 504th PIR 82e airborne division. Hij is overleden op 17 september door een kogel van een sluipschutter. Hij ging Jerry Murphy helpen die gewond op straat lag in Heumen , ook al had hij een helm met een groot rood kruis er op , schoot de sluipschutter toch. De kogel ging dwars door zijn hoofd heen , niks of niemand kon hem nog helpen. Ook voor Jerry Murphy was het te laat , hij overleed enkele minuten na Fred Grainger.
Mijn vraag is nu , wie is de adoptant van Jerry Murphy ? Ik zou graag in contact komen met de adoptant om informatie uit te wisselen. Fred en Jerry waren goede vrienden en dit kan mij helpen in mijn onderzoek.

Alvast Bedankt ,

My name is Buck Spiecker. I am a Dutch citizen but have lived in New York City for many years. I have served in the US Army (drafted) and last month I went to see an old army buddy in Endicott, Upstate New York, close to the city of Binghamton. There I happen to read in the local sunday paper an article about a dutchman who lives in Helmond and who had adopted a grave in the military cemetary Margraten in Holland. The fallen soldier came from that part of NY State which explains the article in the Binghamton newspaper. I decided to contact this dutchman and helped him with some research via the internet. .

I am currently in Holland to visit a sick brother and decided to visit an old lady friend in Maastricht and planned to meet with this dutchman at Margraten where I myself had not been to in many years. Through this message I hope to help him with his search for information about
S/SGT John R. Thomas, Company C, 513th Parachute Infantry, 17th Airborne Division.

Anyone out ther with info, please contact me at buckspiecker@aol.com Perhaps old buddies of Sgt. Thomas who knew him or know how and where he was killed on March 24, 1945. Any info in dutch or english will be appreciated. Thanks much!
