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
