  Frank Gubbels adopts a grave
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 12-22-2005, 05:39 PM - Forum: ANYTHING WWII - Replies (2)


Frank Gubbels (a name many of you will know from WBG), placed a post under my ongoing topic of Don Burgett. Here is what Frank had to say:

 

I just want to let you know that I received a certificate of adoption today. This means that I adopted the grave of a private who was KIA and is buried in Margraten. It is the grave of Paul Carter. He was from A-com. 506 PIR 101 ABN. The same unit as Don Burgett. I already contacted Mr. Burgett and he was delighted that people are taking care of the graves of their fallen comrades. Here is a picture of Paul Carter which I found on the internet.

 

Pfc Paul R Carter

506th PIR Co A

KIA 17 Sept 44

 

Regards,

Frank

 

Note that this is also the same company that Art Morneweck's brother Robert was in.

 

Hats off to you Frank. Thanks for your dedication. :pdt34:

:o

 

Seems many of my great audio links here in this section no longer go to their intended places. I was using the History Channels links, but for some reason they have chosen to change things. So if you click on many of the links in this section, they now take you to a main page where you have to search through their entire collection. Furthermore once I found one of the files (in this case one of Churchill's famous speeches), it began with a "commercial" that you had to sit through. Not good in MY book folks.

 

I have decided to look for other sources and therefore have deleted all the files that were previously linked to the History Channel. Have already found some great sources. Here we go...

 

Thank you for your patience... This is gonna take a while... :banghead:

I have already changed the files for Winston Churchill. :pdt34:
