The hand-drawn grave site map (above, right)
depicts the location of five field graves in the vicinity of the
Thorensche Molen (Mill). Site 2 is the location of the
initial grave for Sgt James N. Sidley, Jr. who was killed in action on
23 Sept 1944 in an attack at Ooypolder, near Ubbergen.
On 18 July 1945, he was re-buried in the
temporary U. S. War
Cemetery in Molenhoek, Netherlands, in grave KK-9-223.
When the Margraten American Cemetery was opening, his family
elected to repatriate his remains which were transferred in 1948 and he now rests in the Fairmount
Cemetery, Alliance (Stark) Ohio, |
