Other Letter from Flossie W. Morrow (his mother) to US Army Graves Registration Bureau |
Dallas, TX, USA | "Some of the crew members returning to the U.S. told me that my son was the only one killed on his plane. The rest bailed out, and he was left in the plane. They said they watched the plane crash and they thought it caught on fire. I do not know if my boy was burnt or buried, or what became of him. The pilot of the plane said he was the last person to bail out, and he saw it crash about 100 yards behind a barn near Liege. All of the crew that bailed out were picked up by the British and taken to Brussels before being taken back to their base in England. Could you tell me if there is any way of telling what became of my boy? Is there any way of having him traced without me having to make a trip over there?" Eventually Mrs. Morrow's son was found and returned to her to be buried in Dallas, TX. |
