Jumpmaster note:  SSgt Charles Deaver was later determined to have died on 30 November 1944, two months after his brother Clyde.  His remains were repatriated from the crash site and became part of a group burial in plot 82-0-20 in the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, Saint Louis, MO.  The group burial implies that the few remains recovered could not be individually identified.
