The individual grave
marker for Pfc Hollis Loomis is erroneously recorded as being in
Section 12, Site 1478 within Arlington National Cemetery. However,
another man lies at that spot. The photo
shows a very small portion of Section 12, one of Arlington's largest
sections. Despite
multiple attempts, Loomis' grave was not located. for a number of years.
However, in June 2010, researcher Eileen
Horan located the grave at Site 2478, not 1478, and provided the photo
at the top right.
Pfc Loomis was killed in action on July 5, 1944 and was awarded the Purple Heart |
