St.Mihiel American Cemetery and Memorial at Thiaucourt

St.Mihiel American Cemetery and Memorial

 

In OFF I am operating in the area east of Verdun right now with Jasta 5 (1916, from Porcher).

My first victory was over a Sopwith Strutter, near the German airfield at Thiaucourt.

So I noted longitude and latitude, and investigated the aerea via GoogleMaps.

 

This way I found the PANORAMIO Photos of the "St. Mihiel American Cemetry and Memorial".

I thought, perhaps our Americans here would like to see those too. Here's the link:

Thanks, Olham.

 

Those were very nice photos. One of these days I hope to make it over to see some of these memorials in person. I was very close a few months ago - I had applied for a job opening at the American Battle Monuments Commission, but they chose someone else.

Next time you send them a copy of the James Dietz painting with you - they can't beat you off then anymore.

Good luck next time, Jarhead!
