Hello !
I'd need some informations to 42-100265, MACR 2720

particularly about the fate of two crew members:
1) Gunner 2: 33238246, Arthur C. Bare (Missed)
2) Gunner 7: 33226865, Arthur C Melius (Killed)

Found?, brought home and buried in US ?

Thank you

Emmerich

The online portal to the records held at the National Archives, and information about those records.

So it looks like his remains were recovered poste WW2 and re buried.
