McAlpine Robert B. Jr. / Bluff Dale ca 1940
Posted by: Mario Nouwen (ID *****9708) Date: March 28, 2008 at 02:54:04
  of 729

My name is Mario Nouwen and I live in the Netherlands (Holland).
Some time ago I adopted a grave at the US War Cemetery in Margraten (Holland) of a former inhabitant of Bluffdale (County Erath / Texas).
This person was enlisted in 1944 and died in Germany on April 7, 1945, age 23.

For some time I've been trying to find information about this person but hardly succeeded.
Here are the person's details:

Name: Robert B. McAlpine jr.
Born: 1922
Marital status: Married
Last adres: Rt. 1 Bluffdale Texas
Education: 1 year of High school
US Army serial number: 38687403
Place of enlistment: Camp Wolters (Texas)
Civilian occupation: Farmer hands

Also I have a written account of his last two days during the war.
As a member of the C-company / 50th Infantry Battalion of the 6th Armored Division, he fought in the Belgian Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge).
I would greatly appreciate if you could help me find some more information about this person, e.g. the name of his wife, maybe a photograph, whereabouts of his children and/or about his life in Bluffdale.

Sincerely,

Mario Nouwen
