Pvt. Jim H. Gilmore

US Army 422nd Infantry Regiment

from:Mississippi, USA

(d.11th Jan 1946)

As a young child, I remember seeing a military document and a picture of my uncle, Jim Gilmor who served in the US Army and died at POW camp Stalag 9B in Bad Orb, Hessen-Nassau, Prussia. My grandmother framed it and hung in her home for all to see and remember the price for freedom, and also to remember her loss of a son. He gave the ultimate sacrifice so others could enjoy the freedom many take for granted.

As I’ve gotten older and reflect on the many family members of mine who have served, I would really like to know what happened to his remains. I was told he was buried there where he died and would like to learn more about where he is. Who thinks of the fallen when they are gone? Who will praise them for giving us freedom and remember them when they helped in liberating the oppressed at the hands of a tyrant? I will. I will be the one to remember you. If possible, could you advise me on how to go about locating his remains? I don’t know where he rests.
