There are no photos to be found on Clarence, I've been looking for some WWII groups on Facebook.  I can give you a good shot of his tombstone.

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?

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.

Cyrille and Justine

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.
