Hallo Cees,

When I checked the Margraten Wall of Missing just a few years ago I noticed Frank D. Gallion was still listed as missing...Up to then his name wasn't marked with an 'asterix' indicating he was found and identified. Shortly after that I wrote a letter to the C.O. of the ABMC asking for an explanation but no reply was send ever ! According to the Margraten people it is a matter of bureaucracy on the other side of the Pond ! Maybe it's corrected in the meantime but I have my doubts...
