It absolutely breaks my heart to think he has no living relatives, no photos, no stories, and the only thing remaining is a name etched on a stone cross.
There is a town in France that wants to build a memorial to him and they would like a family member to attend the dedication.
I am a researcher for the Lacey-Davis Foundation, which works with several European organizations to remember the fallen. It is best explained here: http://www.lacey-davisfoundation.org/ansa.html
If you scroll to the bottom of that page, you can see Catherine Meunier and a picture of one of her soldiers.
The French towns are doing this on a local level. Previous memorials can be seen here: http://www.lacey-davisfoundation.org/Pilots-Soldiers-Monuments.html
Right now, we are looking for the family of George Kashula, not only to get a picture for Catherine Meunier but in hopes of having a family member attend the dedication of his memorial.
If a family member can not attend, the foundation will video it and provide a DVD.
I notice that a previous post mentioned removing some information for the sake of the Kashula’s privacy. If this involved family members who do not wish to be involved, please let me know which ones so I can avoid contacting them again.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide
