- Benny Overhand writes, "This picture was
taken on the 27th of September this year [Note: in 1999 this
is the 55th anniversary of Dave's death] and it shows about
the position where the Germans must have been. Rosie (according
to Larry Dunlop's account) came running from the direction that
the picture was taken in. The barn on the left, that you can
see through the trees, is the site of where the old farm used
to stand. It is here that the platoon of H.Co 504 took up their
positions and in the surrounding orchard which used to be where
you can see the two clumps of trees. I've found the remnants
of a .30 cal. machine gun position there. Maybe Larry's old position?
By the way, are you aware that Rosie is not the only person
missing of H.Co near this farm. The other MIA is Gerald W. Kight.
There is some question as to the fact that he was of D.Co but
he is predominantly listed as H.Co and went officially MIA on
the 28th."
