Hello,
I am Hans Senden from The Netherlands (close to Margraten Cemetery), and I have adopted the grave of Pvt Howard B Hicks from Kentucky.
He died on November 28th 1944 in Immendorf or Beeck (Geilenkirchen), Germany. As part of the US 279th Engineering Combat Battalion (for the 84th Division of the 9th US Army during Operation Clipper),
Howard was helping deactiving minefields, when he stepped on a undetected mine. He was killed instantly.
I hope to find more information about his time with the engineering battalion.
