292nd Engineer Combat Battalion (New Member)

During the course of researching the cemetery photograph I learned that Major General Maurice Rose, commander of the 3rd Armored Division, had been killed 30 March 1945 in the same general area south of Paderborn as PFC Jordan . General Rose was first buried in the same cemetery ten days before PFC Jordan. Here are some pictures of General Rose's funeral at Ittenbach on 2 April 1945.

In August 1945 the remains of General Rose were transferred to the Margraten Cemetery where he still rests today in Plot C, Row 1, Grave 1.
