PFC HENRY H. WADE

Pfc Wade was initially interred in Plot A Row 8 Grave 153 in Molenhoek American Cemetery, Holland,  a temporary facility employed until the war ended and plans for a permanent cemetery could be made.

When the Margraten cemetery was opened, Henry Wade was laid to rest there among many of his comrades.

This grave marker honoring Pfc Henry H. Wade stands at Plot K Row 1 Grave 17 in Margraten American Cemetery, Holland.

Pfc Wade was killed in action on September 20, 1944 in the Kalorama area of Beek.  His awards include the Purple Heart.

Wade's grave is adopted by the Roes family of Margraten.

After Herman Roes and his family adopted Pfc Wade's grave, an article about it appeared in the Static Line newspaper.
   Iris Fowler, a British-born war bride, noticed the article and wrote to Mr. Roes to tell him what she knew of Henry Wade.
