Larry, I know you keep very busy but I was wondering.....
Could you try to locate information on the Spurlock family.
It is bad enough when you have to deal with those that were unmarried that died at Siegburg - but the married with children adds to the awfulness of it all!
Spurlock was with 28th Division, 112th Regiment. He appears to have been wounded and captured on Nov. 8, 1944 (Bloody Hurtgen Forest Battle) and died Feb. 12, 1945. It appears family members wrote the Govt to try and get information and from what I found in the records - like so many others, there was basically nothing there.
If they do not now know of Siegburg, we can at least tell them what we know. And in some way reassure them that if he had to have ended up somewhere - we know he got the best care there that they could give under the circumstances. I can read them part or all of my Dad's letter to Geraghty's Dad - and talk about the Nuns (the ones that I know worked on the Allies) and the French Priest and others... And then there were some wonderful and caring men that were recovered enough to work as Aids as did Otto Tonneson and John Creighton and apparently Guidry too.
Larry, I will send you the documents, and if you can not find anything - at least we will have tried.
Thank you for being there to help me and all of these WW2 Veterans and their Families!
Jean
