media-44243.jpeg UPL 44243 Signature of Wesley Rawhouser located on the railings overlooking Lauterbrunnen Valley, Hunneflue, Wengen, 3823 Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland.

I found this on a walk overlooking the beautiful lauterbrunnen valley. I hope that if Wesley had any family and they are looking for more information they can see this. I think he must have inscribed this after surviving a crash landing in the surrounding region.
