Graves Registration supplied a map of the location where George Lovelady's body was found.
   His isolated field grave was marked by a crude wooden cross simply marked "U.S.A." and was went undiscovered for quite some time.  It was found by a local farmer, Wyers Jonssen who reported it    Lovelady's grave is number 2 (circled) of 3 that are identified on the document.
   The 3 bodies were apparently collected on the same day and were  interred side by side in the U.S. Military  Cemetery, Margraten.
  

Martijn Rongen

a retired Corporal of the Dutch army who served in an airmobile/airborne unit. was deployed to Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan.

   Martijn adopted the grave of George Lovelady not only because George was a liberator but also due to the fact that he served in the same kind of unit as Martijn.

   He said that he considers the adoption "...  a great honour."
