Burried: Bourdon , Block 15, Reihe 12, Grave 453.

Gefreiter Schumacher

Hi Dirk, Gerdan, Raul,

Thanks for your help. Is Stonne near Gravelines in France? Where is Bourdon in relation to where he was killed in action. Anyway of finding out Wilhelm's unit?

Regards,
John

Motorcyclist grave

Hi Gerdan,

Thanks for all the translations. Regarding the motorcyclist. Can you make out his name? It looks like Uffz. Meiners. What would have been done with the equipment on his grave? Would it have been sent to a supply depot?
