SSgt Roy L. Booher - WE DID IT!!! - We found him
#1

The first American soldier to be killed in Holland has a name.

 

Roy L. Booher Company K 119th Infantry Regiment, 30th "Old Hickory" Division.

 

Here is his picture:

We were sure for about 95%. This evening we spoke to another man who was investigating the same. He had some documents we hadn't seen before. While we were talking we all agreed that we finally found out that it was Roy L. Booher who was killed near our village Noorbeek.

 

I really don't know how to share everything with you. Our search took quite some time. More than a year and many, many hours of research. I really have no idea how to explain everything in English. It will take hours to explain it but we were really serious searching so depend on me that we are sure about it.

 

Besides, I passed my English test last week very confidential so my English teacher told me that I don't have to make another one :26_14_1::wave2: .

 

Regards from a very happy Frank
