Hi Frank, great pics, thank you.
As for 1stLT John Bigler his unit the 307th AEB was the organic engineer Bn of the 82nd Airborne Div. According to the 82nd`s website the division crossed the Rhine on April 6 1945 so Lt Bigler died during the timeframe of the crossing.
The 307th has their own website here: http://www.307th.org/index.ph?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=53
The last picture is realy interesting, how did a Merchant Marine Seaman end up buried in Belgium? another one to put on the list to lookup.
