Frank Gubbels (a name many of you will know from WBG), placed a post under my ongoing topic of Don Burgett. Here is what Frank had to say:
I just want to let you know that I received a certificate of adoption today. This means that I adopted the grave of a private who was KIA and is buried in Margraten. It is the grave of Paul Carter. He was from A-com. 506 PIR 101 ABN. The same unit as Don Burgett. I already contacted Mr. Burgett and he was delighted that people are taking care of the graves of their fallen comrades. Here is a picture of Paul Carter which I found on the internet.
Pfc Paul R Carter
506th PIR Co A
KIA 17 Sept 44
Regards,
Frank
Note that this is also the same company that Art Morneweck's brother Robert was in.
Hats off to you Frank. Thanks for your dedication.
