Grave
marker for Captain Edward Faunce King at
Plot F Row 4Grave 62 in the
Cambridge American Cemetery, Cambridge, England
Captain King was severely wounded in action (SWA) and
evacuated to a hospital in England. He subsequently succumbed to
his wounds (DOW) on June 11, 1944 and was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart.
After his death, Captain King's remains were initially
buried in Brookwood American Cemetery and Memorial, south of the town of
Brookwood, Surrey, England. Brookwood is a small 4.5 acre cemetery
with only 468 graves largely dedicated to WW-I dead.
After the Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial site was
constructed, Captain King was reinterred there joining 3,812 of our
military dead in its 30.5 acre site. |
