Photoarchive Margraten Cemetery - 05/16/2008 03:41:31 PM
Hi,
 
I'm building a photoarchive of soldiers who are buried and mentioned on the Wall of Missing at Margraten Cemetery (the Netherlands).
On this moment am I searching for a photo and crewphoto of:
 
Staff Sergeant George Petula (k.i.a. on july 7th,1944).
 
I hope that someone on this forum can help me with a photo or can give me some advise where I can obtain a phot of Staff Sergeant George Petula.
 
I can be contacted at:  jmdewilde2@gmail.com

You have contacted the 44th BG. You need the 448th BG George Petula was member of the 713th BS see below. He also does not appear to be on the Wall of the missing as they have him listed in the Cemetary.
 





George Petula




ID: 12183208
Entered the Service From: New York
Rank: Staff Sergeant

Service: U.S. Army Air Forces, 713th Bomber Squadron, 448th Bomber Group, Heavy

Died: Tuesday, January 11, 1944
Buried at: Netherlands American Cemetery
Location: Margraten, Netherlands
Plot: Row: 14 Grave: 12

Awards: Purple Heart

 
All though the date of death is different from yours. I checked our Roster we did not have a Petula on our Roster. We lost two aircarft on 7 July 1944 no crewmembers by that name.

Yes I can help with that but it will take quite some time as there are 29 Buried and 49 Listed on the Wall Of The Missing for a total of 75, from the 44th BG..
