Hi, I'm Justine's dad. I'm answering because the questions are too technical for Justine ;)

The IDPF is Lamar's personal death record (circumstances, burial sites, list of personal effects...). We have learned that Lamar died of shell wounds to the head.

Normally, items left on graves are collected by the cemetery steward and stored in the soldier's personnel file by the cemetery's ABMC. Each time the cemetery is visited, one can ask to see the file and the objects. This summer I will leave Lamar's IDPF with the cemetery steward.

Hi Justine,

I have made my family tree public on Ancestry.com. Here is a link, where you can see our family.  I'm still working to add more info, it's a slow process.

There are a couple of pictures on Lamar's profile. Not much yet, but you can follow the tree if you like.

I'm so sorry it's taken so long to get back here.

I'm not sure how to attach a photo to this forum?

I will find a photo and post it here.  What is an IDPF?

Also, do you know what they do with momentos that are left at the grave site or on the cross?

Hi Justine and Cyrille!

I’m Denise (Kyle who responded before is my cousin) Lamar was our great uncle.

I was able to visit his graveside back in 2003. I’m so excited to “meet” someone who is caring for his place of rest. Thank You!

What would you like to know about him?
